This is kind of like asking why FDR did really well in the South but poorly in the Northeast... it was the standard at the time that New Hampshire was a titanium R state and states like Arkansas and Louisiana still had a lot of residual New Deal Democratic strength left over.

I mean, it's really not as simple as that ... he did better in CERTAIN Southern states and still did well in only CERTAIN Northeastern states.  "That's the way it was" is a far from satisfying answer, IMO.
