Has the GOP ever nominated a non-Texan Southerner for either prez or VP?

I hadn't thought about this until I saw this thread, though it looks like there aren't any cases. Part of this is because the pre-1960 South was reliably Democratic. But since 1960 there have been four non-Texan southern Democratic nominees (Carter, Clinton, Gore, Edwards), but none for the GOP. This will probably change this upcoming election, but does anyone have a guess why this has been true the past 50 years?

Interesting that it hasn't happened. Perhaps such states went from solidly Democratic to the base of the GOP, making it unnecessary to pander to them. Texans (I believe) were all from big political families.

BTW, this is the first GOP ticket of 2 non-Protestants since when?

Not this year either.

Have there been any Republican Texans other than the Bushes?

Sure, just take a look at my username.

I wasn't aware LBJ was a Republican.

My post was meant to imply Republican based on the thread title. I have edited that post to make it clearer.
