But, both really tried--through their emphases on defense, the anti-abortion movement, and other "traditional" positions--to win the South. A candidate who has always served say, a New York contingency will have a much harder time because the things he's pushed for are pretty much opposite what he'll have to push for Georgia residents.
I've noticed that Southerners tend to vote more along party lines. Rhode Island is a staunchly Democratic state, but they overwhelimingly voted two Republican senators in because of the fact that they were pro-choice and pro-environment.
