Goldwater felt strongly that civil rights should be handled at the state and community level, with no federal involvement.  As such, I don't think the Dixiecrats would have a problem with supporting him, and Wallace would probably stay out as well.  Goldwater wins easily against McCarthy.

1. Although both men were viewed as extreme, McCarthy was probably considered the more extreme of the two.

2. Wallace likely stays out and his supporters mostly go to Goldwater.
