When was the last time that a ticket was successful that had two 'Westerners' on it?

Question

We got McCain (AZ) and Palin (AK) together on a ticket. What was the last successful ticket with two 'Westerners' (we'll make it broad and say two people from West of the Mississippi)?

Bush/Cheney might count if we exclude the fact that Bush is from Connecticut. So before them, what was the last double-Western ticket?

Best answer will go to someone who talks about what this might mean for politics in the future.

Answer 1

It doesn't make any difference what part of the country our candidates are from.  You are suggesting that our side of the US is not as important as the East.  Get a life.

Answer 2

Last time I checked, AZ and AK were a part of our country too. That's why it's called the UNITED states of America.

Answer 3

republicans on the east coast are not happy, they think westerners are nutty, even republican ones!

how can you blame them? (e.g arnold schwarzenegger)

Answer 4

Eisenhower/ Nixon for sure

Johnson /Humphrey maybe depending upon which side of the Minnesota  Mississippi Humphrey is from

Answer 5

Everybody from west of the Mississippi gets progressively more insane by volume. Only the crazy people went on the frontier. So, I don't know that two westerners aren't more than this nation can handle. Still, I'm voting that ticket.  

Answer 6

Bush/Cheney.  Bush is more Texan than Connecticut-ian.
