The home state effect for running mates used to be a lot more relevant than it is now. Carter carried Minnesota twice because it was one of the most reliably Democratic states in the country at that time. It was McGovern's second-best state.

Yeah, regionalism also used to be a lot stronger before the cultural impact of the Interstates really started to be felt. Cable TV and the Internet carried the process much further.
