I would note that much of Idaho's growth has come from Republican voters migrating from other states. Plus, the conservatism that you tend to find in Idaho is more deeply rooted and all-encompassing than that in West Virginia, which has a proud (if mostly dead) tradition of labor activism (though the "War on Coal"  does the Democrats no favors in WV).

To sum up, Idaho has been voting for right-wing Republicans for a much longer period than West Virginia has.
