Dobs Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Illinois Democratic Primary - March 21st, 1972 1,084,734 votes -- 173 Delegates Hubert Humphrey - 394,843 votes (36.4%) 63 delegates Stuart Symington - 339,521 votes (31.3%) 54 delegates George Wallace - 201,761 votes (18.6%) 32 delegates Bill Clay - 137,761 votes (12.7%) 22 delegates Sen. Hubert Humphrey takes the state of Illinois in an important and relatively comfortable win over Stuart Symington (3). Symington had appeared to be gaining ground and while his campaign was able to recover from a rally gone wrong in Chicago, the turnout just was not enough (6). Alabama Senator George Wallace came a distant third, with a strong base in the Little Egypt region of the state, which is culturally more similar to Kentucky than Northern Illinois (5). Finally, Bill Clay disappointed by failing to capitalize on black support in Chicago and make any waves, falling fourth (3). --- Georgia Democratic Primary - March 21st, 1972 364,936 votes -- 54 Delegates George Wallace - 176,629 votes (48.4%) 46 delegates Stuart Symington - 116,050 votes (31.8%) 8 delegates Bill Clay - 52,186 votes (14.3%) Hubert Humphrey - 16,422 votes (4.5%) The Georgia Primary saw extremely depressed turnout as both liberal candidates failed to make any headway in bringing out the black vote, delivering an especially crippling blow to Bill Clay who had hoped to build a coalition of black voters in Southern states (1!). Meanwhile, Hubert Humphrey’s failure to contest was made manifest in his poor showing (1!). Given the new nature of Georgia’s primary, many conservative voters, used to support the pick of the conservative Georgia Democratic Party, failed to turn out for George Wallace, banking on a win (2). Even the most energized and organized of the campaigns, the Symington campaign, seemingly failed to make waves, though they fared the best and saw a decent last minute boost for it (4). --- Of the two primaries, Illinois was the major story. Humphrey’s win once again established him as the main challenger to Wallace as Symington continued a second place streak. Second place is nice, but now four primaries in, continual losses will continue to harm the Missouri Senator. Wallace’s victory in Georgia is a decent headline for him as it is the first solidly convincing win of the season, but diminished turnout will undoubtedly weaken the strength of the story. Still, Humphrey and Wallace remain the only candidates to win primaries, a crucial mark of distinguishment in the early primary season.

Influence (1!): Proxmire refuses to endorse Symington and some comments of his taken in private in which he calls Symington "a man of extreme dullor" and commends Wallace for his ability to tap into the working class with his calls for law and order, however much he may personally disagree with the Senator, are published in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Dobs Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 South Carolina Democratic Primary - March 28th, 1972 447,829 votes -- 32 delegates George Wallace - 259,293 votes (57.9%) 32 delegates Stuart Symington - 89,566 votes (20.0%) Bill Clay - 51,948 votes (11.6%) Hubert Humphrey - 47,022 votes (10.5%) Sen. George Wallace has won a landslide victory in the Palmetto State of South Carolina, his conservative mobilization kicked it into high gear as this deeply conservative state came in droves, signalling a consolidation of support in the South (7). Congressman Bill Clay did surprise many analysts by squeaking into 3rd place with an impressive black turnout, even against most odds (9). His sneaks past other liberal Hubert Humphrey who limped to fourth after a disappointing showing across the South so far (4). Finally, Stuart Symington failed to make very many waves, just hitting 20% after suffering a tough week (6). The turnout was incredibly high for this primary and it will very likely give Wallace some solid momentum going into April and may just be a bellwether for the South. --- (Stand by for turn round-up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symington to hope for an endorsement of his campaign inside of Texas. Poll: Nevada Dem Primary Rally (6): The rally saves face from the last disaster but is no great breakthrough. Influence (3): Cannon is the most conservative member of the Senate Moderate Democrats, so it's no surprise when he declines Symington's request in favor of seeing if conservative Democrats can't in fact win over the party. It's unlikely he'd go so far as endorsing Wallace, but his silence is palpable. Influence (7): Yarborough is a liberal who often opposed Symington's agenda. While stopping short of an endorsement for LBJ's candidacy for Symington, he will tell his supporters that they must do what they can to stop Wallace, be it throuh Johnson or Humphrey. Overall: +1.

Dobs Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Wisconsin Democratic Primary - April 4th, 1972 714,294 votes -- 67 Delegates George Wallace - 276,322 votes (38.7%) 36 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 275,003 votes (38.5%) 31 delegates Stuart Symington - 162,859 votes (22.8%) The Wisconsin primary went well into the night. After the endorsement of Bill Clay, many assumed Humphrey would surge to first. Indeed, he surged, but George Wallace's campaign of right-wing populism and playing into the anxieties of the working class was not to be underestimated. Ultimately, the campaign of Humphrey would have a decent turnout day (5) while Wallace (3) and Symington lagged (3). However, Wallace's lead proved to be too much for a small turnout edge and endorsement to best. Wallace would win his first Northern state and maintain his primary win streak. North Carolina Democratic Primary - April 4th, 1972 528,932 votes -- 64 Delegates George Wallace - 238,019 votes (45.0%) 34 delegates Stuart Symington - 215,276 votes (40.7%) 30 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 75,637 votes (14.3%) The North Carolina primary was set to be a Wallace landslide. And while the Alabama Senator would win less narrowly then Wisconsin, Stuart Symington's impressive comeback from the brink of destruction speaks to his strength in the South, particularly when compared to Humphrey. Humphrey and Wallace's campaigns both saw major snafus as they had systematic failures to get their demographics to the polls (1!). Meanwhile, Symington was effectively able to win over the hearts and minds of moderate farmers and suburbanites and get them out in droves (10!). --- Today was a mixed bag for the field. The biggest winner, of course, both in delegates and coverage is George Wallace. Wallace held North Carolina but also won Wisconsin, proving his strength from 1968 was not a flop and beating out his closest liberal challenge. Wallace walks out to today with 2 important wins. Still, there is a great deal of hope to be had for the other two candidates. Wisconsin was close, Hubert Humphrey has proven to have a certain connection with black voters which has managed to materialize since Bill Clay left the race. And Stuart Symington has likely just kept a hemmoraghing campaign on life support and even brought it back to life in the South where he remains competitive with Wallace, who was unable to land the knock out blow tonight in the Tar Heel State/ --- Oklahoma Special House Election Primaries OK-3 (Special): Wes Watkins (D) vs. Gerald Beasley Jr. (R) OK-6 (Special): Glenn English (D) vs. Carol McCurley (R) --- (Stand-by for Round-up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
