Reply #81: The problem with that argument is the fact that

in 1974, before he apologized, Wallace won the primary for re-election, even as he lost in Black Belt counties.

On general election day, black voters in the black belt still came out and they pulled the Democratic lever for the entire ticket, including Gov. Wallace.

Wallace apologized in 1978, but still, animous remained in the black community. In the 1982, he lost several of the heavily black counties. The counties which he won were the ones in which the local black political establishment was supporting him. He won a close race in the runoff. And what happened when he was the nominee, in the general election, once again, black voters turned out in large numbers to elect the entire ticket, including giving Gov. Wallace his fourth term

Based on this experience, if Hillary is to get the nomination, I expect her to pull the same margins in the Black Belt as Wallace did in 1982
