Why did Al Gore do so poorly here, relatively speaking? Not only compared to 1996, but also compared to 2004.

2 words- Ralph Nader

Bush's performance in MN that year was shocking, I wonder too why he did so well there. And its not all about the Twin City exurbs, its the state as a whole.

I don't think he did any worse than Kerry did.  Actually he may have done even better, if Nader didn't get such a large percentage.  He got 5% in 2000 in MN.  Give all those votes to Gore and he had 53%.  Kerry got 51% in 2004.  Anyway, 1996 the Republicans had a bad candidate and Perot screwed up the whole thing, so I don't really think much has changed over the past 3 elections in the Upper Midwest.

The area has traditionally been pretty close (at least Wisconsin has Wink) It changes back and forth a little, but it doesn't mean all that much, I think.
