I think its important to recognize in threads like these that the GOP had already made significant inroads into the South, even parts of the Deep South, during the 50s and early 60s. So regions heavy in Nixon60-Goldwater64 voters such as Eastern and South-West Tennessee, parts of Northern Georgia, Southern Florida, central Kentucky, Northern Louisiana, chunks of South Carolina, Virginia, etc. of course mostly voted for Nixon in 68. Byrd/Kennedy-Goldwater voters however, mostly went with Wallace in 68. Additionally, in areas such as Southern Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina and East Texas you had significant amounts of Johnson-Wallace voters.
