AHC: US President elected without winning home state (20th/21st cen)

The United States has only had two presidential elections where the winner lost their home state: 1840: Polk and 1916: Wilson's *re-*election. Challenge: have a president in the 20th or 21st century elected (for the first time) without winning their home state.

Note: I agree that this happening in 2012 is possible (Romney winning Massachusetts in the General Election is almost ASB), but does anyone have any ideas on it happening between 1900 and 2008?
 
Florida was not GWB's home state. And in the 2000 election, Gore winning TEXAS is more ASB than Romney winning Massachusetts in 2012.
 
FDR could lose NY in 1940, Nixon CA in '60, Goldwater AZ in '64.

But neither Nixon nor Goldwater was elected, even with their home state.

BTW, if "home state" means state of current residence, then it also happened in 1968, Nixon having moved from CA to NY - which he then lost.
 
IIRC Caifornia was one a number of close states that could have won the 1968 to Humphrey. Correct me if I am wrong but if Nixon takes Illinois and New Jersey but loses California, he still wins.
 
Arguably Nixon's home state in 1968 was New York. He'd been living there since 63 and it was his legal residence at the time.

2000 Gore win is obvious other option.

In the future, you could have Romney win in 08 w/o Mass.

Nar. That would make it Nixon 261, Humphrey 231, Wallace 46, so the election goes into the House.
 
My first thought was to simply have Chris Dodd be Democratic nominee in '88, but Poppy is a Texan, not a Conneticutian.

Late Edit: Or instead we can have either Jack Kemp or Don Rumsfeld somehow become Reagan's VP in 1980, leading to them as alternate GOP nominee after two terms of the Gipper. I can see both struggling to carry their respective home states, particularly Kemp, what with 1988 being the cycle where the GOP begins its long march away from being a competitive party in the Northeast and Midwest for presidential elections.

Gore's residence was in Washington DC though, which he won and would likely win come hell or high water, so even that isn't a clear cut case.
