I was just checking the historical electoral college. Do you know that in 1864 NJ actually voted for McClellan for president? I mean, even if you didn't like Lincoln, McClellan was a total, pompous loser. And NJ, Kentucky and Delaware were the only 3 states he carried. I guess they are still voting for losers in that state.

New Jersey was McClellan's home state. It's rare that a state rejects one of its own in a presidential race. In fact, just off the top of my head Gore is the only example I can think of that happening to (aside from 3rd party candidates, of course.) Can any historians out there name any other examples?
