WVProgressive Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Poll Request among all Americans Has your opinion of Jacob Javits gone up, or down since he began his campaign for the Vice Presidency? My opinion of him has improved My opinion of him has decreased My opinion of him is the same I don't know who he his Javits schmoozes with the NYGOP, hoping to put the Buddhist thing behind him. Javits asks Betty Ford for her endorsement, hoping her support will propel him in the eyes of women rights advocates, and liberals. The BRC releases a pamphlet detailing all the Civil Rights programs supported, and advocated for by the Republican party, from the abolition of Slavery to the Minority Owned Small Business Grant (Influence Blacks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace will continue hitting Maryland, pushing forward his call for law and order in America's streets. (Rally) 3.

Dobs Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 14 hours ago, Cal said: Senator Humphrey will spend time in Maryland once again, driving home his message of electability in what is becoming an increasingly winnable election for the Democrats in the fall. (Rally - Maryland) Former VP Humphrey will rally once more in Maryland, denouncing George Wallace for refusing to sufficiently denounce his extremist segregationist and racist rhetoric and policy as Governor of Alabama. (Rally - Maryland) Finally, we are going back on our hands and knees to the party bosses. Each party boss who shows up gets exactly one triple H poem dedicated to them and their honor. (Influence - Party Bosses) Rally (3): They're not terrible appearances but they're just not lighting any sparks. Rally (4): Humphrey's passion is admirable but it's just not getting through over the din of Wallace's populism. Influence (1!): Getting on your hands and knees is a little forward for a man in 1972. Do better. And poetry is only solidifies the question everyone is asking. Is Humphrey, ya know? Overall: -8. Coming off a cold streak in the primaries and last week, Humphrey needed a big move to stop his decline. He did not get one. 7 hours ago, WVProgressive said: =Javits schmoozes with the NYGOP, hoping to put the Buddhist thing behind him.

Endorsement (10!): He gets it! Most people are wondering, who? But when Betty Ford makes her debut into the political foray, she is lionized for her incredibly speaking ability. Some say she even overshadows her husband, the Speaker. Influence (1!): Try again next time. Overall: -2. The unknown Ford's dazzling debut makes up for the continual failures on the part of the Javits campaign HQ. 5 hours ago, The Blood said: 1.

Wallace will continue hitting Maryland, pushing forward his call for law and order in America's streets. (Rally) 3. Wallace will hit Virginia, asking for the endorsement of Governor Byrd as the primary nears. (Influence) Rally (3): Maryland is slightly less conservative than the rest of the Upper South, having much of a Mid-Atlantic bend. That message about the "way of life" doesn't quite click though. Rally (6): But for a state with many suburban centers, "law and order" is much more palatable. Influence (10!): Governor Byrd gives a glowing endorsement and mobilizes his entire machine to do whatever is necessary to ensure Wallace takes Virginia by a landslide. Overall: +5. Wallace continues his upward trend with a strong endorsement from Byrd, capitalizing on his previous primary momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobs Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Maryland Democratic Primary - May 16th, 1972 568,107 votes -- 53 delegates George Wallace - 343,705 votes (60.5%) 49 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 224,402 votes (39.5%) 4 delegates George Wallace wins a sound victory in the Maryland primary as he consolidates his position as frontrunner on the backs of conservative suburbanites who are beginning to find his candidacy more and more digestable (6). Hubert Humphrey, on the other hand, has been putting a lot of firepower into Maryland, hoping to turn Wallace's momentum around. Unfortunately, his campaign has been dogged by atrophying support and slowing momentum and was unable to materialize such a win (4). --- Virginia Democratic Primary - May 16th, 1972 479,218 votes -- 54 delegates George Wallace - 346,475 votes (72.3%) 54 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 132,743 votes (27.7%) Virginia was a tad scrappier than most on the ground anticipating. Wallace was able to cruise to a bruising victory with a relatively sleep campaign on the ground consistent almost entirely of Byrd Machine infrastructure (2). Meanwhile the Humphrey campaign was able to inject a little energy at least around the Richmond area and DC suburbs where some urban liberals and black voters were encouraged to turnout, even if only to be crushed in the end (7). --- Hubert Humphrey seemingly put a lot of stock in the Maryland primary, unfortunately his help did not come. Wallace locks down two more important victories and just north of 100 delegates. Meanwhile, Humphrey seems to be seriously losing steam as Wallace's performances both on the campaign trail and at the ballot box are seeming to consolidate his position as a much clearer frontrunner than a few weeks ago.

Dobs Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Mississippi Democratic Primary - May 23rd, 1972 319,282 votes -- 25 delegates George Wallace - 265,962 votes (83.3%) 25 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 53,320 votes (16.7%) As expected the Mississippi delegation lined firmly up behind Wallace after a thumping primary win. The Wallace campaign put up mediocre effort and the campaign relied solely on the state party apparatus (4). The Humphrey campaign meanwhile did manage to bring a few new voters to the primary but not nearly enough to beat the machine (7). --- Louisiana Democratic Primary - May 23rd, 1972 470,603 votes -- 34 delegates George Wallace - 388,247 votes (82.5%) 34 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 82,356 votes (17.5%) Both campaigns achieved an unexpected turnout in Louisiana (3). Of course, this severely benefited George Wallace who, hot off a successful rally just before the primary was in a supreme position to win the state in a landslide. Indeed, the fellow Deep Southerner has carried the state quite successfully. --- Alabama Democratic Primary - May 23rd, 1972 396,225 votes -- 37 delegates George Wallace - 372,452 votes (94.0%) 37 delegates Hubert Humphrey - 23,773 votes (6.0%) Alabama was a slum dunk if there ever was such an electoral event. The former Governor and current Senator was able to effectively mobilize his base, it was nothing special but it got the job done (5). The trouble particularly came, though, for Humphrey as Alabama remains a state with virtually no real reliable base of black voters and this base of support failed to materialize entirely for Humphrey as it had in some meager way in Louisiana and Mississippi (1!). --- The 3 Deep Southern primaries amounted to a total rout for Senator Wallace. While not unexpected, these primaries seriously solidify his positon as the commonly accepted frontrunner and provide him with 3 more wins as we draw closer to the final contests of the primary season. This marks the seventh consecutive win for Wallace. While Humphrey did not crash and burn on the campaign trail this week, he is seriously suffering in the momentum department due to lacking primary performances.

Influence (7): After delaying and delaying, Yorty will agree to take Wallace's place on the ballot and stand in his stead as a favorite so in the California primary. Influence (10!): As Wallace consolidates his position as frontrunner, many moderate Democrats are coming to terms with the very real possibility of supporting him as their nominee, it is no longer nearly as unthinkable as it was in February. Many moderates are now even opting for Wallace over Humphrey. Overall: +7.
