It has nothing to do with red or blue states. It's all about the governors and the legislatures.

The governors of Wisconsin and Maine are Teabaggers. The Wisconsin legislature is controlled by Republicans. In New Hampshire although the governor is a Democrat, unlike in many other states in which Executive Councils are merely advisory, the Executive Council of New Hampshire has a strong check on the governor's power. The five-member Executive Council has a veto over many actions of the governor.

They at the time were controlled by Republican legislatures or governors or both.
