Landon and Dewey likely equal, Willkie was more liberal.

Your impression that Willkie was a liberal is odd.  It was to varying degrees, but every single GOP nominee from Landon to Romney has been campaigning on scaling back aspects of the New Deal.

And, in recent years, they've even begun campaigning on scaling back aspects of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency (Department of the Interior, FDA, direct election of senators, federal management of land and natural resources).
