The south seems like it will begin signaling for a more conservative republican party.  The latest Pew research poll shows that 

"Roughly two-thirds (68%) of Republican and Republican-leaning voters identify themselves as conservative, and three-quarters of these voters think the party should turn further to the right. While a majority of the moderates and liberals within the party advocate a centrist approach, they make up fewer than a third (31%) of Republican voters overall."

The Pew polls also found that "Yet the exit poll revealed a sizable gap in support for Obama between whites in the South and those living in other parts of the country. Just 31% of southern whites voted for Obama, while he garnered the support of about half of white voters living in other regions."

It seems that the 'he who holds the south will sour' idiom will remain true.
