California swung right that year.  I know the GOP Convention was held in San Diego, but usually that doesn't have much of an impact.

Yes, most of the West swung right in 1996, but California is more urban and densely-populated like an Eastern state, and Clinton improved upon his 1992 margins among both Hispanics and Asians.  It seems like Bill should have carried the state by more than 13 points.
