Why did Adlai Stevenson actually improve in The West against Eisenhower? Was The West really just that reflexively anti-incumbent?

I already knew California made a slight swing to the left, but was that really what made the difference?

Good question, and I wasn't really aware of that shift.  It's truly hard to explain.  Maybe an isolationist streak?  I know Ike is often remembered for one speech against the Military Industrial Complex, but I think he was certainly regarded as the more hawkish candidate?  No idea.

Yeah, but it's the Midwest that's been traditionally isolationist, yet The West was actually more Democratic.
