Lot of questions with no comments here... 
Alright.
I guess your point is that Bush's numbers were better in the Midwest than was stated by an earlier poster and ditto for Dukakis in the Northeast. However (though I haven't done the math), I would expect the party gap between the Northeast and the Midwest to have been smaller in 1988 than in previous and more recent years.
As for Pennsylvania, I would have put in the Northeast, but either way's fine.
Obviously, yes. The Midwest is usually close and the Northeast today leans Democrat. Earlier though, this wasn't really the case.
