Was it really "the final gift from Reagan" as many have said over the years, or was suburbia (in CA) still strong enough for Bush to slide him past Dukakis? It's also possible that we don't really know given that the race was over by around 10pm.
It is interesting though that CA was somewhat more Republican than OR and WA in '84 (due to Reagan's home state), but stayed aligned with the GOP that one last time in '88, while WA and OR switched.
