I don’t know if you remember the election of 1968, Wallace was seen as to the right of Nixon.

The democrats received 44% of the under 30 vote of all races in 1980 for someone far to the right of Obama, the same percentage that Obama got of the pure white, under 30 vote in 2012 that you are so proud of, after they voted for him in 2008 by an incredible margin of 54%.

You seem obsessed with immigration being the only problem we have with the under thirty vote, why is that? Are you a young guy too young to remember the past you keep writing about?

Have you noticed my tag line? Do you think that I am not aware of immigration and voting as well, while you are determined to make it the SOLE problem with the under 30 voters.

The PURE WHITE, under 30 vote, went 54% for full term pro-abortion, liberal deity Obama, in 2008, we’ve never seen anything like it.

I was going to college in the Deep South in 1968.

And, remarkably, I was staying at my Aunt's apartment in Chicago during the 1968 Democrat Convention riots.

I know the politics and the period very well.

Earlier, I did neglect to say that Wallace was indeed seen as to the Right of Nixon on the Culture Wars and Hippies.

However, Wallace was also a traditional Southern Populist Democrat, and he competed dollar for dollar with Humphrey on issues like Social Security and Medicare.

And, Wallace gave every appearance of being a dove on Vietnam, in spite of LeMay.

I do not share your obsession with the outlier election in 2008.

White voters returned to the mean in 2012.

Romney did not depress turnout.

Turnout in 2012 is ranked sixth highest in the last 14 elections.

Romney's share of the white vote - 59% - is number one in the last six elections.

Conservatives have one, and only one, existential threat, and it is the same threat for every age group:

600,000 new Socialist voters are being naturalized every year.
