Wallace was gonna run if he didn't get shot. Isn't Chisholm a black lady? I wonder how Southern racists would react to mister "SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER" having a black female VP. Must be very confusing, 45D chess moment.
I would agree, plus the second option (Chisholm/Wallace) I definitely can't see happening (not only because of the "is anyone ready for a black woman at the top of a major-party ticket" arguments; but also I cannot imagine George Wallace being willing to settle for the VP slot {Wallace had quite an ego as well - when Cornelia [George's 2nd wife after first wife Lurleen died] filed for divorce, she would later tell Parade magazine that "I don't believe George needs a family. He just needs an audience. The family as audience wasn't enough for his ego."})
