Tyler is a Traditionally Republican county in the "Ohio Lands"; Bush's 65-30 win isn't very suprising as Tyler has voted GOP every election since the Civil War except for 1912, when Wilson won it by 2%, and 1996 when Clinton won it by 26% (he actually won a majority of the vote in Tyler)... and he only lost it by 0.14% in 1992.
Exactly why Clinton did so well in a county that FDR and LBJ lost in I'm not sure... but the massive swing in 2000 was normal political conditions in Tyler re-asserting themselves.
