If you actually want to understand why people vote the way they do rather than look for something to justfy your bias ...
If you did a survey where you asked people around the country to state which side of 10 key issues they were on (gun control, abortion, etc) and then had them rank them by importance you would find interesting patterns that explained why people voted the way they did.
For example, with gun control I would expect in many republican states for opposition to gun control to be more popular with people who were opposed to gun control ranking it higher than gun controll supporters in those states; and I would expect the opposite pattern in many democrat states. The net result of this kind of patter is that being on one side of this issue gives you more of an impact with more voters than being on the opposite side of the issue. In many republican and democrat strong holds the parties probably take opposing views on the top few key issues in the state, and as a result one party becomes (almost) unelectable.
