While most Rocky Mountain and Plains states swung left in 2004 (at least compared to the national average), Nebraska and Oklahoma had a strong swings towards Bush in 2004.

What were the issues in those states?

Nebraska 2000:



Nebraska 2004:



The only difference is that Thurston turned red in 2004, and the blue got darker (or stayed the same) everywhere else. I don't know what this means- maybe farm and small-town issues have no political impact.

Other sources I've seen show Thurston voting Bush in 2004.

Those were just preliminary results. The final count had Kerry winning 51 to 48 percent.

It has an Indian reservation. There must have been increased turnout there. Saline County is also pretty Democratic (for Nebraska), but it wasn't even close this time.

Nebraska is interesting cause its at the crossroads. Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon "trended" Democratic (or didn't trend GOP as much as other areas) compared to 2000.

Kansas, Oklahoma, north Texas, and Missouri trended GOP more than the national average. It seems like Nebraska got a little darker but not much.
