Wi Wallace runs as an Independent in 72

What If George Wallace decided not to seek the Democratic nomination, and instead became a third party candidate?. Would McGovern still be the nominee, or would someone else, say Muskie or Humphrey pick up the Wallace Supporters?. Finally in a three way split, would a democrat be able to win? Finally what does Arthur Bremer do in 1972.
 
I am not sure where Wallace's votes in the Democratic primaries would have gone not to McGovern. mMaybe Humphrey gets the nomination. In the general election he does not do as well as in 1968. I am thinking 7 or 8 percent. If McGovern is the nominee that puts Nixon in the low 50 percents. If it is rematch Nixon may go below 50 perecent and be a two term minority president. Since the American Independent convention is after the primaries I would have Wallace run in the primaries and just have Arthur Bremer get arrested for shoplifting. Oh by the way, Wallace in November only carries Misssissippi and Alabama.
