What is with all the leftist opposition to LBJ? He's the clear choice here.

Don't be willfully dense. You know why.

I don't think any of the other Democrats would handle Vietnam any differently.

Then we find someone who would. Unpledged.

"Martin Luther King described Wallace as ‘‘perhaps the most dangerous racist in America today’’ (King, ‘‘Interview’’). In a 1965 interview King said: ‘‘I am not sure that he believes all the poison that he preaches,’’ King said in 1965, ‘‘but he is artful enough to convince others that he does’’

There is no way he would accept that nomination...

That's what makes it fun!

What would happen if a VP assassinated a President? Ah well, it's unpledged electors so who knows what'll happen.

Well, of course SJoyce's love for Wallace is also pretty hilarious, but after all, he's a libertarian.

I really don't get states-rights libertarians. Is the freedom of the state to ban black kids from white schools really more important than the freedom of black kids to go to white schools? If it is, why can the federal government not do such things? Or can it? Are there any fundamental principles, besides the quite changeable Constitution, that say that states are better than the federal government?

Not my reason for voting for Wallace. Pretty simple stuff: being segregated is bad - being napalmed is worse.
