A poll was done on this board of all the people considered by Wallace for VP and John Wayne won.

But the fact he was considered in first place means he somewhat shared his views...

Well John Wayne was a conservative Republican if that's what you mean to say.

Well, no, that's not what I meant to say, but I just realized I'm on a forum where it is perfectly fine for conservative republicans (or even libertarians) to support Wallace.

Yeah, I didn't think that he'd have as many votes as he does.

Only a couple more hours to vote, though it looks like the result's pretty much set in stone. Tongue

The map of a 44-point democratic win in 1968? Should look fairly boring. Wallace would win MS and AL, RFK everything else.

Apparently his stance on the war/support for states rights outweigh his blatant racism and segregationist stances in some voters' eyes.

Yeah, the amount of people on this who consider racism is OK as long as it's disguised as pseudo-libertarianism is sickening.

I was about to make a joke about moderate heroism on this forum, until I noticed that George Wallace was the guy beating Rockefeller.

So yeah, what the hell guys?
