I've never said that all protesters were the same, however there were many out there spitting on soldiers, calling them baby killers, blocking the soldiers at airports, etc. Do you think it was happening mostly in the south? Hell no! It was going on it counter-culture cities like San Francisco.
The use of LSD was prevalent in the northeast and west coasts (remember that it got it's start at Harvard). It was the hippies that were using it and face it, the south didn't attract near as many hippies as the east and west coasts.
As I said, there will always be someone that doesn't like a presidential candidate's religion.
I've already said that the civil rights movement was PART of the reason for the migration.
The hippies and protesters took to the Democratic party, regardless of what Daley was doing.
It wasn't just the south voting for Wallace. Remember that he won the primaries in Indiana, Maryland, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Your insistance that "drugs' are somehow a problem that belongs to the coasts seems strange to me. Drug (and alcohol) problems are spread across the country and I can't see what they have to do with white southerners leaving the democratic party to vote republican.
Wallace ran on his own American Independant Party ticket in 68 and won Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. In 72 he ran in the dem primary and won one northern state - michigan - and a handful of southern states. I believe he won every southern primary that he ran in before getting shot. Significantly, his absence in 72 changed the result from a hairsbreadth win for the republicans in 68 to one of the most lopsided victories ever in 72.
