It's not a swing state without a third party candidate siphoning democratic support. Bush's performance in 2004 was likely due to incumbency and the fact that 2000 was very tight. He was able to draw out a lot of conservative support downstate.
Keep this in mind and I posed this question in another thread. It's been since 2002 (Gordon Smith) since the GOP has won ANY statewide race there, which is pathetic. The state party is all but dead. The cupboard is bare and in states like CO, it's the same thing.
