Of course, neither Wallce nor McGovern is a libertarian, by any means. But both of them have their libertarian aspects, and both are identifiably anti-status-quo, which is more than can be said for Nixon or HHH. In fact, between them, you could put together one fairly decent candidate -- something that not even Merlin the Magician could do, given Nixon and Hubie as his sources of raw material. | Of course, neither Wallce nor McGovern is a libertarian, by any means.

Indeed, despite their differences (which are many and large), both Wallace and McGovern are cut from the same basic cloth; perhaps this is why surveys taken in Wisconsin showed that the second choice of Wallace voters was McGoern, and vice-versa. | |||
Looking at them both from our viewpoint, what can be said? Is there any hope for libertarianism in either of these men? | |||
To begin with McGovern, it must first be noted that he is by the far the worst of all the prospects -- including Nixon -- in the area of economics. H e makes no bones about being in favor of massive income redistribution, and has voted in favor of sociialistic proposals even more consistently than Hubert Humprehy -- which takes some doing. | |||
