The differnet homestates

[Pingvin]

What If some of US presidents didn't moved to another places?
1. Gerald Ford decides to stay in Nebraska.
2. Ronald Reagan makes his career in the Illinois.
3. Bushes decided to stay in New England.
4. Obama never moves from Hawaii to Ilinois.

Ford would probably gets elected to the House, then Governor. If he gets tapped for VP at all, then he would keep the same results in 1976

Reagan would never get involved in politics

Bush, Sr. would become a Senator and W. would be a businessman. If either of them tried to run for President, they would lose their home states (unless in 1980, 1984, 1988, etc.)

Obama probably gets elected to the House, Senate, and presidency with the same results as IRL.

Reagan would never get involved in politics

Why?

Reagan would never get involved in politics

Why?

Moving to California and being made GE's spokesman was what made him decide to go into politics. If he had stayed in Illinois, meaning that he never became a radio personality in Iowa or an actor in California, he would never have been approahced by GE and thus would never have gotten involved. To himself, however, he would still be a liberal until the day he died (GE helped him become a right-winger as well).

Okay, new ones.
1. Stevenson stays in California.
2. Landon stays in Pennsylvania.
3. Humphrey stays in South Dakota.
4. Kerry stays in Colorado.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Okay, new ones.
1. Stevenson stays in California.
2. Landon stays in Pennsylvania.
3. Humphrey stays in South Dakota.
4. Kerry stays in Colorado.

See, the problem is Stevenson was born in California, but his native state still was Illinois. The same goes for Kerry, who was not Colorado native.

However, Landon and Humphrey what if may be interesting.
