Wallace/McGovern seems least likely.

There was a handful of white, rural counties in Tennessee that voted that way.

I say Goldwater/Humphrey was least likely.

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned....McGovern '72/Ford '76. Secular voters? People who really dislike southerners? Looking at home states doesn't help...Ford did worse in SD and MI than Nixon.

McGovern himself voted for Ford.  Counties that voted McGovern/Ford included Washtenaw, MI (Ann Arbor); Clay, SD (Vermillion); and Pitkin, CO (Aspen).  Also, Ford came closer to winning San Francisco than Nixon in 1972.

Yes, these voters were rare, but there was a handful.
