Bah, the Northeast was pretty much gone that way since 1964. Besides Vermont, NJ, and NH, the rest of the bunch flipped that way for good with Humphrey or were really really close the whole way.
Nixon and Reagan were flukes.
And Carter '76 took up the whole of the blue collar side of the Northeast [and got 51% of the region, and barely lost in '80,...would've won it if not for Anderson], with Maine being very very close both times.
To credit Dukakis and Clinton is as disingenuous as pretending Goldwater and the CRA magically flipped The South for good with nothing before hand.
