All twelve counties outside Maine that voted for Perot in 1992 (including Morris County, Kansas) voted for Dole four years later.
All three Perot counties in Maine, however, voted for Clinton in 1996.

THAT IS TRIPPY

It is, but not that surprising when you consider that Clinton CRUSHED Dole in the Northeast (that's really where the increase in his vote over '92 came from), while Dole was at least somewhat competitive in the rest of the country.
Any idea why the Northeast was so anti-Dole?

The increasing anti intellectualism and southernization of the GOP hurt them badly in 1996. NJ went from a tossup to solid Dem and hasn't looked back since.

Clinton's attuning himself to the concerns of suburbanites also helped him as well. "Soccer moms" voted solidly for him in '96.

Yea that was the year of V-CHIP's, school uniforms and bringing the internet to schools.
