The GOP knew they were done right from the opening calls. NH was a shocker. VT wasn't given that the GOP establishment there had been weakening for a decade or so. GA was a shocker, although the final results proved very tight.

MT was a surprise. FL wasn't supposed to be as close as it was and Clinton (per his book) was annoyed he didn't work FL as hard in '92 as he did in '96. Also, NC was a near Clinton win.

IMO: Colorado and Montana for Clinton (probably Perot spoiler in these states), Florida and North Carolina for Bush (expected Clinton wins).

Florida wasn't even on the radar for Clinton. That's why he mentioned that he was annoyed he didn't work it as hard that year. CO wasn't much of a surprise. It was one of the states Dukakis actually worked in '88 west of the plains and the economy was weak.
