This is very good, although I think it would have been more interesting to see Wallace as the perennial loser. Keep it coming!

Nice twist! I can't wait to see what Folsom does as President.

Funny thing is that Folsom due to his 1962 loss and, thus, withdrawing from public life is remembered mostly as a 1940s/1950s man, despite being in quite "presidential" age later (he was born the same year LBJ was, and was just 3 years senior to Humphrey).

Folsom actually didnt reply retire from public life, he ran for governor in every election untill 1982 but never got many votes after he appeared drunk during that debate with wallace. I know his gradson and he told me that the family swears to this day that the wallace people drugged him. He was picked up that night in cullman and was driven to montgomery about a two plus hour drive, and they caimed that he had 2 or 3 drinks on the way down, but by the time he got on stage he was incoherent, and they say the wallace people drugged on the drive down.

Wouldn't surprise me...

This is a great timeline. I can really see Wallace become the poster child for the religious right. Keep it coming!

Great update! I'm interested to see what the Republican opposition will do to Jim Folsom.

As well as what Folsom himself will do as president. I wish I had some ideas to help you along on that front, but I'm stumped as well.

After Julio's uncalled for accusation that I killed all active TL, I'm doing an update.

You bastard...

Well?

I'm glad to see this come back.

He repented.  He was a prick who agitated the anti-civil rights movement, but there was good in him, as he proved in appointing more blacks to any cabinet position than any other governor ever.  He repented.  If only he had done it sooner, although it does prove that there is good in everyone.  Even Americans Wink

Meh, repent or no repent, he was a political opportunist who adopted horrible positions in order to advance his political career. I have little sympathy for him. That said, ITTL, I like seeing him become moderately successful in non-political endeavors. I might even root for him if he decides to make a comeback later on.


LMAO. Nice typo. Wink + Tongue

Looking at the '72 GOP primaries (which I'd like to make a map for), Tower could be a good compromise candidate. Reagan obviously will be considered. Maybe Rlliot Richardson (probably MA Governor by now) could run as an NE establshment moderate.

All of these are good possibilities, but I still like your earlier suggestion of Hatfield.
