What's the track record for tickets where the nominee and VP candidate are both Senators and both

East of the Mississippi and North of the Mason-Dixon line?

1. Not many examples, probably,

and JFK was last Senator to run and win. AND chose lyndon. Highly unusual.

2. Most likely the same as a ticket

with an African American man heading one national party ticket, and a man of 72 being on the other.

We have so many firsts here, I don't think an historical calculation will give you an answer.

3. Delaware is actually almost entirely SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon line.

Although it's also to the east of it.

Delaware is a border state; it was a slave state with many Confederate sympathisers during the Civil War. It's got more in common, historically, in that sense, with Maryland than with either Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

And a better question would be: what is the track record of electoral performance of incumbent parties in an environment where the outgoing President or administration is hugely unpopular and the economy is experiencing a severe downturn? That is the question that matters, and the answer does not look good for John McCain or the GOP.
