What would the map have looked like if the Democrats had not nominated Carter or another nominee with similar southern appeal? Here's my guess:

Probably this:



President Gerald Ford (R-MI)/Senator Bob Dole (R-KS) 303 EV. 49.3%
Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-WA)/Senator Frank Church (D-ID) 235 EV. 48.6%

What if George Wallace had gotten the Democratic nomination in 1976?  He'd probably at least match Carter's performance in the South.

Alan Cranston/Hugh Carey (D)  271 EV
Gerald Ford/Robert Dole (R)  267 EV

At that time, the Democrats needed a "big state" strategy if they didn't put a Southerner on top of the ticket.
