Virginia has always been the least conservative southern state (not including West Virginia). That is why it is lean Democrat now, and why it was always an area where the GOP did well in compared to the rest of the south. The Dixiecrats were generally the more conservative party than the Republicans, and so in Virginia the suburban and urban voters went for the GOP at a greater rate than other states. Therefore Ford would do better, even though they were both moderate.
