Hawaii and Alaska

[minionofmidas]

Alaska`s population is actually pretty concentrated...a third of the population is in Anchorage city limits.
High number of Texan immigrants in that state, btw.
16% Native American, with the West and North Coast 80%+ Native American. And Bush won these areas, if by a whimper. (It seems to be that oil-dominated communities and welfare-dominated communities voted Bush, traditionalist communities Gore...Those on welfare hoping for oil jobs from the Republicans)
I guess back in 1960 both states still voted purely on traditional party lines from the colonial territorial era. Reps have always remained competitive on a state and local level in Hawaii, Dems have long remained so in Alaska.
