Wallace did REALLY well in 1968. Every adult that I knew of voted for him.

Yes. Really well for a 3rd Party guy, 5 states and 46 electoral votes compared to 6 states with 52 electoral votes for Barry Goldwater in the previous election cycle.

Trivia question: Wallace did better than all but one other 3rd party candidate in the last century. Name that candidate and the only other two candidates to win electoral votes through popular balloting. (I'm not counting the unpledged electors or the occasional single faithless elector).
