Probably had more to do with local party politics than anything else.  Consider Pennsylvania, where Breckenridge got over ten times the votes that Douglas did.  The Little Giant had made some enemies in the party during his time in the Senate.  It wasn't just slavery that caused the Democrats to fracture in 1860.
Douglas was also just a person who angered a lot of people.
