Aren't there a lot of small dense John-Deere type manufacturing cities there, like the Quad Cities (which, combined is roughly the size of Des Moines), Dubuque and Rochester, MN that somehow haven't been inudated by Reagan Democrat/evangelical/anti-labor service industry types?
That's the best explanation that I can come up with and I lived there one summer. These small cities/large towns have a lot of minorities in them. Similar cities anywhere else aren't strong Republican, but probably give republicans high single digits in Presidential elections and probably are represented 2:1 Republican at the local level. These cities seem lean D.
Again, its probably because there has been little Southern migration.
