I'm not sure you can explain all the Northwest by the Nader vote. You might want to add libertarian-leaning in there to more states than just ID. Bush's gain in WA, OR, ID, WY, MT, SD and CO were all much lower (~1%) than his average national gain (~2.5%). On the other hand Bush's best areas were in the New York area and the Southeast, especially the mountain areas around Tennessee. But look at just the Bush vote without looking at the Kerry vote to get the relative changes controlling for Nader.
