There was someone here before who supported Wallace, but I don't remember who. I am not sure about this one, certainly not Wallace, probably Humphrey due to the murder of RFK. Don't let them win, you know... Tongue

From the 'who would you have voted for' thread...

1968: Wallace

I generally cut a strong conservative streak, with a few annoyed-at-incumbent bumps.

And Opebo's a big fan of Wallace's running mate, Curtis LeMay.

Yes, I like LeMay a lot - his ideas won WWII, and the fact that we abandoned them is the reason for the defeats in Korea and Vietnam.  If it was a LeMay/Wallace ticket, you bet, but the other way round no thanks.  

I voted for Nixon.  Humphrey would've been my last choice.


Korea was, worse case, a draw, and I'd go as far as call it a win, actually. Vietnam was impossible to win while remaining a civilized country. But I guess that wouldn't bother you or LeMay.

Jaichind also would have voted for Breckinridge (1860) and Thurmond (1948).

It's the fascist nut vote, basically... Wink

RFK was to be president in 1968. Sorry but Nixon was an impostor.

Why was Nixon an imposter? For RFK? Anyway, since he wasn't actually running due to him being dead, it might be a good idea to vote for one of the actual candidates, that's all i thought.
