Looking at the 1988 Presidential Election Results why is it that Dukakis carried his home state by less than 8%? Dukakis was Governor at the time and was known for the 'Massachusetts Miracle'; the Republicans also made a lot of attacking his state. He won Rhode Island by a greater margin and also won New York but that election was the last year the GOP could count on winning a majority of support from the East Coast. I know that Reagan was popular with Irish and Italian Catholics and Blue Collar voters in Massachusetts, did his support carry over to Bush?
