I always wondered about that...the thousands it took for his escapade. Source of funds?
Not a word in his sick diaries about his finances.

If Wallace had NOT been shot, he would very likely have been the nominee for the Democrat Party in 72 and he certainly would have fared better with the voting public than that traitor-Commie George McGovern. That's absolutely ludicrous. Wallace couldn't have gotten the Democratic nomination in a million years, even if he had won every Southern primary.

Don't be so sure about that. We're not talking about the 'Rat Party of today, which is absolutely a socialist party, we're talking about the Democrat Party of '72, which was in a battle for it's soul, and Wallace was appealing to what were later called 'Reagan Democrats', with a populist, conservative, traditional values candidacy. And in case you forgot, Wallace carried five states in the Deep South in his independent '68 campaign (which probably put Nixon in the White House), so his vote getting ability was proven.
As for the 'soul' of the Democrat Party, it ended up being sold to the Communists and associated leftists with the nomination of McGovern. Note too, that McGovern never had to worry about Wallace being the nominee after Wallace was struck down in Laurel Maryland, so your comment that Wallace couldn't have been the nominee 'in a million years' is actually what is ludicrous, not to mention ignorant. I was there, I lived through it, I know what was going on politically in America in 1972 and Wallace had a shot at the nomination.
Unfortunately, Arthur Bremer had another kind of shot that changed the entire equation.
Have a nice day.
