Have as many presidents come from one state, from both parties

Ideas

New York: Tom Dewrey wins in 1948, Robert Kennedy in 1968, Mario Cuomo in 1992, Hillary Clinton in 2008

Tennessee: Cordell Hull in 1945 (FDR's VP) Estes Kefauver in 1956, Al Gore Sr in 1963 (JFK's VP), Howard Baker in 1980, Al Gore in 2000, Bill Haslam in 2012

California: Earl Warren in 1952, Richard Nixon in 1960, Ronald Reagan in 1976, Jerry Brown in 1980
 

Aaaaasima

TEXAS!!!:

Lyndon B. Johnson (1956-1968), John Connally (1972-1980), Ann Richards (1992-2000), George H. W. Bush (1976-1992), George W. Bush (1996-2012), Sam Houston (1856-1860)

Why are the bushes serving more then 8 years?
 
Yes

Yes

Using @Golfman76's notation system I'll represent for the Tar Heels...

North Carolina*

Democrats: Terry Sanford (1964-76), Jim Hunt (1988-96), Harvey Gantt (1996-2004), Elizabeth Edwards (the right Edwards!) 2004-12)

Republicans: Jim Broyhill (1984-88), James Martin (1992-2000), Richard Vinroot (2004-12)

*Obviously this includes PODs, like various of them winning Senate races (gubernatorial in Vinroot's case), getting into politics in the first place in Elizabeth Edwards' case, or gaining national prominence faster in Sanford's.

On another note you could do Pennsylvania:

William Scranton (R) (1964-72), Ray Shafer (1972-80), Joseph Clark (D) (1964-72), Milton Shapp (D) (1976), John Heinz (R) (1984-92 if he lives), Dick Thornburgh (R) (1992-2000), Arlen Specter (R) (1992-2000), Joe Biden (D) (if he stays in PA rather than straying over the border, 1984-2008)

Basically, unless Biden stays home, PA is the life support system for Rockefeller Republicans in this scenario

And Nixon, despite being Californian through and through was actually elected as a Republican from New York, so that takes NY up to 8. That puts 20 out of 44 (and New York will add a 9th come November since both Clinton and Trump are running as New Yorkers, so 21 out of 45) or 45-46% are from just three states as is.

I dislike counting Nixon in that case, but that's right.

So, no, the country really doesn't care.

And not to mention Eisenhower had his place of residence in New York when elected.

When Helen Taft was a younger lady, she was at a dinner party expressed a desire to marry a man who would be President. She was told by Rutherford Hayes to marry an Ohio man. She did and pushed her husband pretty relentlessly until he was President. Sadly she had a stroke and was not able to enjoy being first Lady.

Given New York's importance I am surprised that their President's came later on. Some of them were of no consequence such as Van Buren or Chet Arthur.

Some States you would assume would have more like Pennsylvania (did Buchanan ruin it?)

I think Ike should get counted as a Texan! In a modern sense I think your ideal nominee for both parties should be a candidate from the Midwest and a Southerner for the Republicans and a Westerner or New England for the Democrats. Governors should head the ticket and for VP Governors or Senators.

If Dewey wins in 1948, history is probably sufficiently changed so that Robert F. Kennedy never becomes a New Yorker and Hillary Rodham never becomes either a Clinton or a New Yorker...

Ohio Republican William McKinley is not shot, and serves until 1904, when he is succeeded by Ohio Republican Joseph Foraker. Foraker serves two terms, but by 1912 the voters are tired of Republicans in the White House, so they elect Ohio Democrat Judson Harmon. Harmon is narrowly re-elected in 1916, but by 1920 voters are tired of the Democrats, so they vote for Ohio Republican Warren Harding...

I count six New Yorkers:

Van Buren
Fillmore
Arthur
Cleveland
T Roosevelt
F Roosevelt

And technically, both Eisenhower and Nixon were residents of New York when first elected.

Three New Yorkers can easily be added:

Samuel Tilden - lost in 1876 by 1 EV in a highly disputed election

Charles Evans Hughes - lost in 1916 by 13 EV; California with 13 EV was lost by 3,420 votes out of 928K cast.

Thomas Dewey - lost in 1948 when every poll and pundit predicted victory

There were also several New York VPs who could have succeeded to the office: Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel Tompkins, William Wheeler, Levi Morton, James Sherman, Nelson Rockefeller.

And it appears one more will be added this year.
