Why the crap does a state that votes R every presidential election have nothing but D’s in their statewide congressional delegations?

Definitions:

Blue Dog Democrat: Supposedly moderate to conservative who will screw America at any given opportunity to please Madam Pelosi; one term Democrat elected to serve no useful purpose.
