So far this year, Clinton’s map has resembled Barack Obama’s from 2008 as much as her own in 2008, but Arizona is one of the states she won both this year and in 2016. But let’s raise the bar a little higher. In which states have the Clintons gone 5-for-5? That means a win for Bill Clinton in the 1992 Democratic primary, and both the 1992 and 1996 general elections — and a win for Hillary Clinton in both 2008 and 2016. Arizona doesn’t qualify. Bill Clinton won it in the 1996 general election, but lost it in both the 1992 general election and primary. As far as I can tell, the only 5-for-5 Clinton states so far are Arkansas, Tennessee and Ohio. Several other states could potentially join them, however, where the Clintons are 4-for-4 and which haven’t voted yet in the Democratic primary yet this year. They include Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
