and if wallace had been on the ballot taking all the bigot dem and rep votes it would have been a probable dem victory since a lot more bigot rs voted for nixon than bigot dems voted for mcgovern. no, they would have voted for nixon for sure. his bigotry was at least disguised enough to fool the ones who were fooling themselves about their own bigotry but it was there.

btw, am i predjudiced? yes. i try not to be but i still am.

so you seriously think anyone who would have voted for wallace would have as an alternative voted for mcgovern?

just me. these thoughts are obvious but too radical for mainstream media to touch. but with what we know now, do you doubt that it is possible?

i do not

Tom, I have agreed with you in the past. On this one I think you are wrong.

I don't think that Wallace could have syphoned enough votes from Nixon to make a difference. Look at Nixon's margin of victory over McGovern. It was a landslide.

Perot may have made a difference, Nader may have made a difference (notice teh use of "may"). But Wallace was too far out to matter.

BTW, a pox on mainstream media!
