I think it's the regional position, in between the South and the Mid-West, since that's where the election is usually decided. Ohio is another such state, it has only been wrong twice, 1960 voting for Nixon and 1944, voting for Dewey. It's all about regional position.

Delaware was also bellwether state until year 2000 when Gore won it with overwhelming majority. Last time when national loser won in Delaware was 1948 when Dewey won most states of East Coast.

In Nevada national winner has won almost always since  1912. Exception was 1976 when Ford won it. It is  interesting to see who will win there in this year.






Delaware, Missouri, Ohio, Nevada...there are quite a few of these. It's all about regional position, imo.
