This is an interesting topic for me. A lot of people would say it could never have happened, or that if it did he'd just be the Democratic Barry Goldwater of 1964. However, the fact is that George Wallace did shockingly well in 1972 prior to being shot, regardless of his past. It was enough for many that he say he never really was a segregationist, and enough for others that it was a wink and a nudge that he was just saying that to appease the yankees. Richard Nixon seems to have been threatened by him, as he could eat into the constituency of irate working class whites and social conservatives that he relied upon. And is George Wallace as president much more shocking than Ronald Reagan, who was a very angry and vitriol spewing Conservative in the 1960s, softening his image, becoming president and becoming a normality and a reality for America?

However, I am not aware of any (strong, well written) George Wallace in 1972 timelines out there, whether with him being the nominee or him defeating Nixon. Does anyone know of any?
