Other presidential historians, familiar with campaigns, strategies, messaging and images, have observed that, about his style. Join the club. Always acquiring new knowledge is exhilarating!
In 1968 a lot of the Democrat voters were sheared away by the third party presidential candidacy of George Wallace.

A little ironic perhaps to some, but older folks who voted for Wallace back in 1968, then supported Reagan will end up voting for Herman Cain in 2012.
