part of the Nixon legacy, trying to get the white Southern, previously Dem, vote in 68 and 72.


John you have mentioned this several times. I know Nixon heads your Political "Demon" list, after all, you were involved in it as a protagonist, hated it when he got elected twice, and were in heaven when he went down.

However, I think any Republican strategist would have gone after the South after the Civil Rights bills. Technically, it made good Political sense. The South was always conservative, and hated the New York Liberals. Once the Democratic party enfranchised the Blacks, and sewed up their votes, it was the obvious place for the Southern white voters to go. Was Racism involved? Of course. It is always involved in elections.
