Nixon was the first Republican to use the "southern strategy" and he won Dixie in 1968 and 1972. Ford suffered a serious primary challenge by Ronald Reagan in the 1976 primary, which helped Carter run to Ford's right in the general election. This skews the 1976 election to some extent. In 1980 Carter couldn't use his ruse again.
