Well actually the unemployment rate was about about 25% at the height of the depression - and to call it overblown is kind of ridiculous - like all national issues it does affect different areas in differing ways.
Of course areas that relied on a mechanised workforce were hardest hit, or those that were at the mercy of the market - but some agricultural areas were not AS badly affected.
On the question.... It's a toughie as the population shift toward Republican areas has made it kind of difficult.
I would require a Bayh/Warner pres Candidate with someone from the South or SW as a STRONG VP.
That's when I lost respect for Reagan forever - when I heard him say "the continued integrity of our nation is the destruction of the great society".
Made me shudder.
