Reagan wins the GOP nomination in '76 and faces down Carter in the G.E.. I'll leave the VP picks up to the individual posters. Who wins? Go!

Me, personally, I think it'd look like this:



There you go. Reagan peels off some of the more conservative Southern states, and narrows Carter's lead in others, but his conservatism scares labor voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania (among others) into the Democratic Party's arms and Carter barely squeaks through.

^^ Likely this. In my opinion, the only way for a republican victory in 1976 is a Ford/Reagan ticket.

I would give Carter NJ (moderate state) and NC (he was pretty popular there). Not sure Reagan wouldn't have carried Florida.

How does Carter lose his home state of Georgia ?

But if Reagan had lost in 1976, he never would be taken seriously for 1980.

I agree with you. I think that out of all the Southern states, Ronald Reagan would only end up carrying Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Oklahoma and maybe Louisiana if he faced off against Jimmy Carter. In addition, Reagan would have done much worse than Ford in the Northeast, losing Vermont, Maine, Connecticut and New Jersey.
