Dukakis lost Louisiana by 10%, which, for a Democrat, is quite good. It was his best Southern state in the election, and he did much better there than Kerry, Obama, and Hillary (but not Bill) Clinton. It seems odd, though, that Dukakis would perform so well there, especially given his "Massachusetts Liberal" reputation during the election. Also, New Hampshire was the second most Republican state in the election, as Bush won over 60% of the vote there. Although New Hampshire was definitely Republican leaning at the time, Bush winning the state by over 60% seems odd, especially when considering that Dukakis was a New Englander.
