Pringles Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 President Nixon in the Oval Office, watching preparations for the Democratic Convention. Bob Haldeman: "Well Mr. President, you ready to watch the funniest shit you'll ever see in your entire life?" Nixon: "God yes, hold phone calls for the day, as we're in and out of the Republican Convention I want to be watching this on TV as much as possible." Donald Rumsfeld: "Well Mr. President, it's to be expected, after all, the biggest enemy of Democrats was never us Republicans, it was themselves!" Nixon: "Damn straight." A young, devilish, member of Donald Rumsfeld's staff would enter. Dick Cheney... Cheney: "Secretary Rumsfeld... oh? I'm sorry, I hope I didn't intrude. Rumsfeld: "Not at all! Come on in Dick!" Rumsfeld: "Mr. President, I've had someone I've wanted you to meet for quite some time. This man right here, he's worked on a few campaigns for our fellow Republicans, especially in 68, this man was essential on the Warren Knowles Senate bid!" Nixon: "Ah, Knowles is a good friend. Loyal friend too, pleasure to meet you Mr...?" Cheney: "Cheney. Richard Cheney." Nixon: "Always nice to see another Richard. It seems Donald thinks you can be of use to us, no?" Cheney: "Well, sir, I try." Nixon: "I see. Pleasure to know Donald is hiring the brightest minds in this administration. Donald's the kind of man that if you listen to him, you'll go far." Cheney: "Thank you Mr. President." Nixon: "Now, young man, how'd you like to watch the shit show of the Democratic Convention with all of us tonight?" Cheney: "It'd be an honor sir." Nixon: "Well consider yourself invited, just look for me and the rest of the boys. You're always quite welcome." Cheney: "Thank you sir." As the gentlemen would leave, the young Richard Cheney would finally see his entire career leading up to this point. Being recommended to the President for things along down the line. He recalls his drunken, college drop out past... he thinks, "It's all coming together... and it all will." Indeed it shall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobs Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 1972 Democratic State Nominating Conventions Alaska Rusk - 7 delegates Wallace - 3 delegates Alaska is a state with a very moderate state party. Still, a decent amount of Western-style conservatives were willing to fight on behalf of Wallace and scored for him a few delegates. Rusk walks away with his first win of the season, a good start for his new campaign. --- Arizona Wallace - 15 delegates Humphrey - 10 delegates Arizona was a fascinating contest. Many establishment moderates such as the powerful Mo Udall were willing to back Humphrey but the conservative bend of the state made a victory for Humphrey unlikely. Ultimately, young conservative Democrat Bob Stump would make a stirring speech in Arizona winning over the delegation in a split decision. --- Colorado Humphrey - 15 delegates Rusk - 11 delegates Wallace - 10 delegates In the first real three-way contest, Humphrey will win a split decision in Colorado that places Rusk in second just in front of George Wallace. --- Connecticut Humphrey - 45 delegates Rusk - 6 delegates Connecticut was always going to be a lay up for Humphrey and indeed it was, netting him a large margin with a few straggling moderates tagging on to Rusk's bid. --- Delaware Wallace - 8 delegates Rusk - 6 delegates Delaware came down to a battle between the Old Guard and New Guard of Delaware Democrats. Former Governor Charles L. Terry will lead the floor delegation and will indeed come through with a Wallace majority, but not before Rep. Joe Biden can snag a large portion for Dean Rusk. --- Hawaii Humphrey - 18 delegates Humphrey was never in danger of losing any support in Hawaii. (Most useless place for Wallace to have rolled a 10 lol). --- Idaho Wallace - 17 delegates Humphrey - 1 delegate Despite the best efforts of Governor Church, Wallace's campaign came through with an incredible infrastructure highlighting his large wins in Western primaries and alignment with a state like Idaho, which grows increasingly more conservative day by day. When the smoke clears, Church is the only Humphrey delegate left. --- Iowa Humphrey - 40 delegates Wallace - 3 delegates Rusk - 3 delegates Despite the relatively close nature of Iowa last election, Humphrey's Minnesota roots come in Supreme handy as he is able to nearly sweep across our favorite Corn state, leaving scraps for Wallace and Rusk. --- Kansas Wallace - 25 delegates Humphrey - 5 delegates Rusk - 4 delegates After the loss of Governor Docking, Kansas Democrats have been soul-searching. It seems that in that vaccuum a powerful conservative faction has arisen as Wallacites are able to win a convincing majority of delegates at the convention. Humphrey and Rusk certainly do not go home empty-handed. --- Maine Humphrey - 20 delegates Humphrey's pitch is a slam dunk to keep Maine in his camp. --- Michigan Wallace - 86 delegates Humphrey - 26 delegates Rusk - 24 delegates Wallace hits an extreme lucky break as Humphrey's campaign fails to land its activists on the day of the nominating convention (that was possibly the worst place for Humphrey to roll a 1). Wallace supporters flood the convention hall in Flint and take the convention by storm. --- Minnesota Humphrey - 53 delegates Rusk - 6 delegates Wallace - 5 delegates Humphrey should have had his home state locked but a weak landing and strong contingencies of the competing candidates loosen up some delegates. --- Missouri Wallace - 60 delegates Rusk - 14 delegates The Wallace campaign rolls into Missouri on the back of an insurgent conservative movement sweeping the state just as it did the South. The Rusk campaign can only lean on how much it put into the state to exact the delegates which it did. Otherwise, it would have been a shut out. --- Montana Humphrey - 12 delegates Rusk - 5 delegates The home of Mike Mansfield has some love to give to Rusk, but Humphrey's campaigning and the support of Lee Metcalf will deliver the state. --- New York Humphrey - 270 delegates Wallace - 8 delegates Hubert Humphrey finally lands a big win as he nearly sweeps the New York delegation! Due to the size of the delegation, there are a few upstate conservatives and city unionists who will make up a dimunitive Wallace delegation, but this is a Humphrey landslide. --- North Dakota Rusk - 12 delegates Humphrey - 3 delegates Rusk is able to steal away the North Dakota delegation on a particularly strong appeal. Humphrey keeps a little support while Wallace is virtually non-existent. --- Oklahoma Rusk - 28 delegates Wallace - 6 delegates Humphrey - 5 delegates Rusk is able to snatch away a crucial win from Wallace as Humphrey delegate Frank Harris keeps his friends in line. --- Oregon Rusk - 34 delegates With the Humphrey and Wallace campaigns faltering, Governor Green easily delivers the state for a well-established Rusk. --- Rhode Island Humphrey - 22 delegates Rhode Island is an easy Humphrey lock. --- South Dakota Humphrey - 9 delegates Rusk - 8 delegates Humphrey is able to just keep control of South Dakota after Rusk snatched its Northern counterpart. --- Utah Wallace - 15 delegates Rusk - 4 delegates Rusk is able to snatch away a few delegates dominated by Weilenmann conservatives and Wallacites. --- Vermont Humphrey - 12 delegates Vermont stays true and blue with its liberal roots. --- Washington Humphrey - 36 delegates Wallace - 16 delegates Wallace is able to land a diminished margin for Humphrey but Humphrey's campaign and strength in Washington will make his win still comfortable. --- Wyoming Rusk - 6 delegates Humphrey - 4 delegates Wallace - 1 delegate Wallace flounders as Rusk is able to score one last Western victory. --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blood Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There's A Hump To Get Over Before The Final Victory - Wallace Campaign Reacts To First DNC Ballot: Wallace is standing in front of a crowd of reporters. The first ballot of the Democratic National Convention for the Presidential nomination had just been called. In response to the results, he will declare, "Across America, over these past few months, we have seen the democratic process unfold. Democrats across this nation have cast their ballots to decide who our nominee should be, and they spoke loudly in favor of my campaign. On my own, I gained a plurality of the popular vote among all states which held primaries, and all candidates who were affiliated with my campaign, me and my good friend Sam Yorty, claimed a majority of the popular vote. Seeing these convention results, I am confident that just as our primary voters spoke in favor of conservative change, so will the Democratic National Convention as the process unfolds. Because Democrats across the nation rallied around my campaign, allowing me to the polls consistently throughout the primary race, and I believe that now is the moment where our party must join its base in supporting me as its Presidential nominee. Thank you." In the aftermath of the conference, the Wallace campaign will spend the majority of its time securing conservative loyalty in key states such as California, Michigan, and Tennessee, and continuing to be active in the public eye as Wallace puts forward his argument that he is the rightful and needed nominee via the demands of Democrats across the nation.

Hestia Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 First Lady Johnson: Time for Duty, Time for Action I spoke before you just over 8 years ago to talk about a moving first lady that paved the way for me: Eleanor Roosevelt. Mrs. Roosevelt was never timid. She spoke as she would, she would do as she would. She did not ever waver from her conscience's decisions, and I have learned from her steps before my own. Back then, I reviewed the words of a rabbi in Berlin during the Nazi years, who said: "The most important thing I learned is that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problems. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful, and the most tragic problem--is silence." So for that, I will not be silent. America faces a crossroads. We face a nationwide problem. A problem my husband took pains to address with the Great Society programs. In our times of greatest strife, we see great people rise to the occasion. That is why I think of Eleanor Roosevelt a lot these days. She thought of the suffering individual, not of a theoretical principle. She saw an unemployed father, and so she helped him. She saw a neglected Black child, and so she educated him. She saw dictators hurling the world into war, and so she worked unflinchingly for peace. Unfortunately, Mrs. Roosevelt is not here to speak on the behalf of those who have no voice. So I ask all Americans to use their voices - their votes. Democracy is a treasure, a very precious one that Americans hold dear. America is great because America is good. It was Eleanor Roosevelt who embodied those words most dearly. I believe in America, and I believe in all of you. Use your voice how she would've used it - for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishfox Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Michael Harrington reacts to the victory of George Wallace by condemning the Democratic Party, and urging his followers to walk out of the convention and launch a third party bid with him. Harrington schedules a progressive convention to be held, and invites minorities, democratic socialists, progressives, feminists, and anti war activists to join in.

Sean F Kennedy Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Frank Church blasts Sam Yorty as an ally of segregationists After the disaster in the Idaho delegation Church knows he could be facing a bitter primary challenge in 1974 but he doesn’t care, he rips into Sam Yorty for being “Wallace’s lapdog, who doesn’t represent his state of California.” Church will condemn the “false populism Wallace has brought to the Democratic Party and that if Yorty has any decency or integrity to listen to his actual constituents.” Edited May 3, 2021 by Sean F Kennedy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fbarbarossa Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Former Senator Gene McCarthy speaks During my time in the senate I fought for equality and integrity. It saddens me to see someone who represents the opposite of these ideas on the cusp of receiving our nomination for the Presidency. Senator Wallace has on many occasions spoken against civil rights, against allowing people to live happily side by side. The former Governor has shown no integrity in any of his actions, whether it be his many, many platforms or his political maneuverings to retain control of Alabama. It saddens me to think that this man could become the representative of our party. At this crucial hour, all we can do is hope. Hope that our voting delegates here do what's best for our party but more importantly our nation. Hope that those who have the power to decide who receives our nomination use it wisely. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 President Nixon and Vice President Agnew enjoying a boat ride along the Florida coast. A cheerful President Nixon and Agnew would crack numerous jokes and have as much of a good time as they can. Nixon: "I can't believe what I'm seeing! I love every moment!" Agnew would once again pull the "Wallace is the black sheep of the Democratic Party" joke. Secretary Rumsfeld and even Dick Cheney, would be cracking jokes drinking beer, and enjoying a nice boat ride, or enjoying what they can at least. As they are surrounded by helicopters and a convoy of Secret Service personnel. President Nixon would recompose themselves, as the Republican Convention is up next, and it's time to destroy the Democratic Party. Forever. Perhaps that's already been done though? Agnew would joke.

Hestia Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 On @Cal 's behalf: Vice President Humphrey will work with party bosses with the work he's built up throughout the campaign in an attempt to try and shake some delegates off of Yorty or Wallace. Humphrey targets party bosses in California particularly once they all get freed up, as well as those in more liberal states that may be uncomfortable with pledging their delegates to Wallace.

Zenobiyl Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Senate Pro Tempore George Aiken gives a speech reflecting on the outcome of the Democratic Convention I’ve been in the senate for a long time, as I’m sure you all know. I’ve seen every face. I’ve seen every staffer, senator, congressman, and presidential candidate. I’ve seen votes go my way, and I’ve seen votes fail. I’ve seen elections go our way, and vice versa.” ”Yesterday, June 10th, 1972, is a date that will live in infamy.” ”Yesterday we all watched as the party of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and so many others sacrificed that legacy for the legacy of Jim Crow. George Wallace, the man who loudly proclaimed that he would preserve segregation forever, has become the face of the Democratic Party. What a sad day it is to be a democrat. What a sad day it is to be a republican! What a sad day it is to be an American!” “Twenty-two years ago, during the time of senator McCarthy, I denounced in this very chamber the politicians who would seek ‘victory through the selfish political exploitation of fear, bigotry, ignorance and intolerance.’ To see history repeat itself is humbling, sobering, and tragic.” “Still, I have faith in American people to make the right choice on November third. I believe that they will vote in droves, young and old, rich and poor, white and black. I believe that they will vote as one to repudiate the bigotry of George Wallace, and deliver Richard Nixon to a resounding victory. George Wallace may have won the battle..... but we won’t let him win the war.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Irwin (D-CT) speaks outside the DNC Senator Irwin delivers a speech focused upon Senator Wallace and his nomination by the Democratic Party as a whole. "You know," He says to a crowd across the street from the center in which the DNC is taking place. "I have learned a lot in the short time I have been in the United States Senate. I've probably learned more about a certain Senator Wallace than most senators do in their first years." "For those of you who don't know," Irwin continues. "I was a U.S. Representative, running for Senate in my home state of Connecticut. The disgraced Senator Dodd was who proceeded me, and I secured the Democratic nomination for the seat. Senator Wallace came to Connecticut and spoke on behalf of Senator Dodd, who launched an independent campaign against me. Not only did Senator Wallace come to Connecticut to campaign against me, but he stood against the Democratic Party that day. I can tell you now, after winning two statewide campaigns in the state of Connecticut, I can tell you with firm certainty that I have won two more campaigns in the state of Connecticut than he will ever win. Mr. Wallace stood against me and the Democratic Party. Now, I return the favor. Vote your conscience this November - but do not vote for George Wallace."

(While I have a minute) In response to Senator Irwin's comments, the Wallace team will release Wallace's travel logs from the time of the Senate race, showing that Wallace never once "came to Connecticut", and will also republish the statement Wallace did release on the race, in which he calls for voters to vote their conscience due to Irwin's uncomfortable relationship with Michael Harrington, never once advocating for Dodd. Wallace will note that he took a, "Very strong stance in supporting Dodd's expulsion from the Senate." He will also state that while Irwin has every right to say that voters should follow their conscience in the Presidential race, just as Wallace did in that Connecticut Senate race, he should probably get his facts straight before making a public debacle of the announcement.

George Wallace doesn’t represent the Democratic Party and he does not represent the average southern man. He does not have the class and dignity of so many men who work long and hard hours to put food on the table, he represents the absolute worst of our political system.

Progressives also hold up signs of Wallace’s racist quotes, and invite black democrats to speak out from podiums brought from home. After Michael Harrington arrives with megaphones the protestors invite left wing speakers to give their own “convention” speeches. Several democrats who walked out of the convention are invited to speak to the crowd about their liberal or progressive vision for the Party and Country. Michael Harrington concludes with a “Keynote” speech urging all progressive, liberal, and left wing democrats to come join him in a week at the Progressive convention as members or spectators. Harrington also asks the young activists, minorities, socialists, leftists, progressives, and feminists to vote for him in November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
