How did Gore lose states even Dukakis won?

I know I had a thread a week or so on Gore's campaign mistakes, but I was looking at the percentages and it's pretty shocking how badly Gore did in states that Dukakis won by pretty decent margins.

For example, Iowa, Oregon and Minnesota (Gore won IA and OR by less than 1%), are threee states Gore carried by a small percentage. Dukakis carried Minnesota by some 10%. Dukakis also carried West Virginia, which Gore lost.

On edit, I just realized my own mistake -- Nader made up for that small amount in most of those states but not in WV.
