In 2000, Bush won Alabama by 14.88 points. Now, that's quite a substantial margin, but not as substantial as Republican margins of victory in 2004 (25.62) and 2008 (21.58). Why did he do so much better than Democrats in other presidential elections? Was it because he was from the neighboring state of Tennessee or just that Alabama wasn't that Republican back then?
