Bush and Gore were seen as a dead heat statistically in the Delaware polls....

It's one of those states that became a long shot for Republicans after 1992.

2004 was the last time Delaware was even remotely competitive, and that was only because of the 9/11 Effect in the Northeast Corridor where Bush improved on his 2000 numbers greatly. 

By 2008, it was Safe D.

It became safe D when Mike Castle lost the GOP primary for Senate.

It shifted heavily toward the Democrats in 1996 (when Republicans started losing New Castle County by 20+ points consistently) and remained a part of the Democratic column ever since - much like the rest of the Northeast.
