Because Iowa was Dukakis +10. "Ancestrally Democratic" northeastern Missouri is powerful!
Combine that with the Leadbelt and Bootheel, which were also Democratic at the time, and you have a pretty strong showing.
St. Louis County suburbanites saved Bush in the state.
Pretty dramatic reversal compared to the state's current coalitions! Ancestral Dem-ness is completely gone in the northeast and Bootheel, and just barely clings on in the Leadbelt (really only in one county at this point).
Some counties along the river in the middle of the state (Saline, Ray, Howard, Callaway, Cole, Audrain) seem to have shifted left a bit, though. We'll see if that's unique to Galloway or part of a wider trend soon, I imagine.
