In the modern context, I think it began in 1964 as Goldwater's new conservative message was planted. Lessen government, build defense, etc. It kind of started growing, I think, and Reagan came along in 1980 (after they tilted back the other way in 1976), built on that mesage, and ended it. Then the "solid south" switched to GOP, I guess. So one could make an argument for both '64 or '80.
