He characterizes radicals in the Debs and Malcolm X tradition as having the same outlook as expressed in George Wallace's pithy observation that "there's not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties". In reality, this is
not our view at all. If there were not substantive differences between the two parties, the system would collapse. i've always thought that wallace's assertion was incorrect, there's at least a quarter's worth of difference between 2 major parties... wallace's 'insurgent' 68 campaign resulted in 12-13% of 'popular' vote and served as basis for 'southern strategy'' that rep party would use quite successfully, kevin phillips was nixon adviser that year and his book _the emerging republican majority' released a year later argued for going after white southern and white suburban vote... assumption was that wallace took votes from nixon rather than humphrey despite fact that wallace and humphrey were both dems, that nixon would have won two-candidate race between himself and humphrey by larger than the 45-43% margin in three person race... michael hoover -------------------------------------------------------------- Please Note: Due to Florida's very broad public records law, most written communications to or from College employees regarding College business are public records, available to the public and media upon request.
