By Deep South I mean SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, and AR.
Democrats swept these states from 1880 to 1964 (I consider Strom Thurmond 1948 a Democrat). The only reasonably close calls were 1928 AL (2.84% D win, D+20.26), 1952 SC (1.52% D win, D+12.42), and 1960 SC (2.48% D win, D+2.65).
Given the PVI's in 1928 and 1952 and the fact that they were both Republican landslides, I don't know how attainable those states were. Nixon probably could've won SC in 1960 with more of a push though.
