There's not much evidence of regional affiliation with voters these days.  Besides, the region that Romney most needs to bolster is not the South but the Midwest.  Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan Indiana, and Ohio are all shaping up to be close enough that it is conceivable they could be swung by hard campaigning alone,  (Michigan and Indiana just barely, but they are close enough the campaigns need to be active there.)

Actually, if Romney decides to appeal to the base with a social conservative or tea party type, it had better not be a Southern, or he'll risk turning off Midwestern swing voters.  If Romney goes with a running mate to his right, he needs to come from the Midwest or West.
