While I know it was still a "swing state" in 1988, it still had to come as a huge blow to the Dukakis campaign to lose here. The state was still quite winnable even with Dukakis being a horrible candidate. The crime issue as previously mention likely helped to kill him in the suburbs particularly in LA County area where he needed and didn't get a much wider margin to cancel out Bushs huge margins in Orange and San Diego Counties.
Still it was a tight win for Bush and one could see what was coming as far as political demographic change in 1992.
