Won the state in which they were born?

Nixon was born in California
Reagan was born in Illinois
Cleveland was born in New Jersey
Kerry was born in Colorado
Carter was born in Georgia
Clinton was born in Arkansas

I'm not sure if that's the correct answer though...just a thought, and I dont want to Google it all.

I think "carried their birth state" is the right answer. Both Goldwater (Arizona) and Johnson (Texas) did that in 1964. And Kerry failed to get Colorado. And George W. Bush failed to get Connecticut.
