President and Vice President from the same state?

I remember learning, and had in common conversation had it upheld, that the President and the Vice President must be from different states. However, when reading the constitution, it only prohibits the electors from a particular state to vote for a President and Vice President from their own state. So if the Presidential and Vice Presidential nominee of the Republicans are from Tennessee, that would only mean that the electors from Tennessee couldn't vote for that ticket, but that the electors of any other state would be free to do so.

At least, that's what it seems to me. Am I correct?

Here's the exact text of the 12th ammendment, which superseded the original section dealing with selecting the President and Vice President:

"The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves..."

So what would happen if Bloomberg/Giuliani were to win NY?

Bloomberg isn't a Republican anymore, so you can count out any chance of those two being on a ticket together.

But hypothetically, the electors from NY would be prohibited to vote for a President and Vice President from NY.
