I used to think the "home state" effect only really applied to presidents, but I guess it can apply to vice presidential picks as well - e.g. Jimmy Carter carrying Minnesota twice because of VP Walter Mondale.

Nate Silver looked into a bit. The vice presidential home state effect isn't as strong, but it is noticeable. Super popular incumbents (such as Muskie) can skew it even further.
