My attempt at a full list:

Florida: Ignoring the areas that obviously aren't the South, there are two pretty clear candidates: Tallahassee and Gainesville. Probably nowhere else that would qualify as Southern by any logical standard.
Georgia: Atlanta and Athens. And I'll just say DeKalb County rather than just list off all the municipalities in it where this applied. Probably nowhere else.
Alabama: Outside chance at Birmingham. Nowhere else.
Mississippi: None.
Louisiana: Obama definitely won the white vote in New Orleans, but outside of there, even Baton Rouge, I'd be skeptical of anywhere.
Texas: Austin isn't Southern. Denton is an obvious pick in an area commonly considered Southern, and only one I can think of.
Arkansas: Likely Little Rock. Don't know of anywhere else, Fayetteville was probably his second best in the state.
Tennessee: Nashville is probably it.
South Carolina: Charleston looks like a possibility, and probably the only place even worth checking.
North Carolina: Ah this one is tricky. Obvious: Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough, and Asheville. Possibility: Raleigh. Charlotte and Greensboro look like almost certain nos and nowhere else in the state is worth considering.
Virginia: So then here's the debate over what qualifies as Southern or not. But excluding obviously not areas you are left with Charlottesville, Richmond and...I though the Hampton Roads would be worth looking at, but only Williamsburg looks likely.

So anyone think of any I missed?

I think Norfolk probably squeaks by.

Savannah, GA might be a possibility?  Not sure.  And probably several tiny college towns here and there.

Romney got 28% in a 44% non-Hispanic white Norfolk. Doubtful.

Romney had to have received at least 25% in Savannah, and the white VAP is around 40%.

Austin I'd put in the same western region as San Antonio.
