It was the first time that the GOP (outside of '64) had a clear establishment with the conservative wing. Add do that, a changing Democratic Party that was really "nowhere", and it set the stage for the landslide from the Presidential race down to Congress too.
Carter had little place to grow from '76, and the Democrats weren't strong enough yet in the northeast. Thus, the Democratic Party was somewhat "nomadic" at that time and remained that way until the late 80s/early 90s.
