This is the only complete study of the Wallace phenomenon. It
covers all of the presidential campaigns and views wallace from a
variety of vantage ints: historical context, content anal-ysis of
speeches, and analysis of elec-tion data, including voting
statistics and attitudinal patterns of supporters. Poli-tics of
Powerlessness examines na-tionwide support for George C. Wal-lace
in the presidential campaigns of 1964, 1968, 1972, and 1976. A
number of election and candidate preference surveys are used as
sources of data on supporters. An understanding of Wal-lace's
appeal is provided through an examination of themes noted
through-out his speeches and an analysis of his political history
from biographical sources, personal interviews, and newspaper
accounts of the time. The picture of Wallace that emerges is one of
a man who saw himself as a crusader for his supporters' interests,
while de-liberately heightening and intensifying their feelings of
powerlessness as a means of getting votes. Carlson shows that
Wallace voters were not marginal. They did not reflect a loss of
status, nor were they simply outside the mainstream of political
life. They were very much like major party voters, with the
exception of their feel-ings of political powerlessness that me
about by increased government ..rticipation in state politics. This
work informed not only by a careful anal-ysis, but by interviews
with Wallace, many of his followers, and people active in his
campaigns. The work has the additional advantage of having
follow-up analyses and interviews as, late as 1978. In this sense,
it represents not only a scholarly analysis of the Wallace
phenomenon, but the most up-to-date analysis as well.
