Before 1992, there was still a Cold War going on, and the USSR was the United States's mortal enemy. The GOP had a carefully-cultivated reputation of being tough on Communism and spendthrifts on national defense, and the Democratic Party had a reputation for being weak on national defense. States like CA, CT, IL, and NJ still had lots of job tied to high levels of spending on national defense.
