Favorite Sons and Daughters, 2008 from the most recent AEI Political Corner.
| Q: Would make a good president . . . ? | Yes | No | |
| Arizona voters | John McCain | 48% | 42% |
| Georgia voters | Newt Gingrich | 30 | 63 |
| Illinois voters | Barack Obama | 64 | 29 |
| Massachusetts voters | Mitt Romney | 31 | 65 |
| Massachusetts voters | John Kerry | 25 | 71 |
| New York voters | Hillary Clinton | 57 | 39 |
| New York voters | Rudy Giuliani | 46 | 51 |
This is probably meaningless but fun. Amusing points:
- McCain is the highest of the GOPers in his home state, which is actually a red state, unlike the others.
- Obama is the highest of the Dems in his home state.
- Clinton beats Giuliani in NY.
- Romney beats Kerry in MA. Good for him. But Romney probably looses to McCain in his own state, so I wonder what that means…
