A historical-cultural book, Albion's Seed, indicates that the flow of Puritan emigrants to the West followed the Great Lakes and ended in Iowa.  (Obviously there was then a "jump" across the Rockies to the Oregon Territory.)  Maybe that's why Iowa votes like New England.

Btw, excellent book, though a little dry, especially if you're not into cultural-history:  http://www.amazon.com/Albions-Seed-British-Folkways-Cultural/dp/0195069056
