They were once hotbeds of progressivism and socialism in the early 1900s. During the early New Deal they stuck with FDR through 1936. Anyway my question is, even though those states had periods of strong progressivism/populaism, why did Democrats fare poorly there?

And why were Democrats not really able to even win statewide offices until the era of Quentin Burdick and George McGovern?
