Wallace wasn't the candidate of the working man, Humphrey was.
Unless that working man happened to be a soldier in Vietnam...
Didn't Humphrey go against the war in the end?
Too late. He still gets graded an "E" for Epic Fail on the war.
He had gone against the war by the end of 68. Learn a little about the guy. Even Johnson criticized him when he spoke of wanting bombing halts and beginnings of withdrawl. That is until Johnson decided to announce a bombing halt.
Also, what kind of influence can a Vice President have on a President, with the exception of later administrations like Clinton and Bush II where the VP was a much stronger role? By the way, the other "working man" candidate, Wallace, supported the war much more than Humphrey did. Porce, do your homework on the man. McCarthy wasn't a union candidate, so he can't be called the candidate of the working man. McGovern was more agrarian than labor.
