It's not really all that shocking. In the prior election, Reagan bear Mondale there by a 69 to 31 margin. Bush was a great fit for the state. New Hampshire has always been a fiscally conservative state. Bush with his "No new taxes!" pledge, and Gus New England roots, added with his moderate views on most issues, helped to sweep the state.
Dukakis performed pretty solidly in Louisiana. Bentsen may have helped a little there, but Louisiana still had democratic roots at the state and local levels in 1988.
