Michael Dukakis was a "Massachusetts liberal"- Minnesota liberal was probably a little more appealing to some:)

They were virtually the same in both elections.  I don't think 57.89% vs. 57.85% is remarkable enough to warrant an analysis, except maybe 1988's lower turnout hurt Dukakis a little more than Mondale.

I wouldn't be surprised if you'd find similar numbers throughout the South.

Yeah, but Reagan got over 60% in every other Southern state.  Bush got over 60% in only two southern states: Florida and South Carolina.

Thats because Reagan won by 19% while Bush Sr won by just 6%
