Every candidate has certain areas which they appeal to more than others- Obama was strong in the Midwest (particularly in 2008), and Gore overperformed in the Northeast. Gore did very well with Orthodox Jews and Hasidim, and additionally overperformed with suburbanites who swung to Bush afterwords because of 9/11.

Linus is right. Culture might have also had something to do with it- Bush was perceived as a more southern, rural type, which may have rubbed wealthy suburbanites the wrong way.
