The Republicans were quite strong in New Hampshire at the statewide level in the 1980s.  John Sununu (who became Bush's chief of staff) was a very big supporter of Bush in the 1988 election.

Dukakis improved considerably over Mondale in Arkansas as well--so the Bentsen factor (which was significant in Texas) likely spilled over into the bordering states of Louisiana and Arkansas.
