Bush really ran his 1988 political race from much of the Reagan strategy (go national, not sectional like today). And he was pretty successful with this. He ran very well in the Northeast--picking up doubtful states such as Pennsylvania and Maryland and Connecticut. And he ran ahead of the national average in New Jersey. Basically, he did extremely well with the suburban vote.
Of course, all of this changed by 1992--and this continues to the Republican struggles of today.
