Can you not follow this? Drugs were a problem on the east and west coasts in the 60's which is what I had originally stated. No where did I say that that's the case today. Unless you count Maryland as a southern state (which NO real southern does), then Wallace won two northern states in the 1972 primaries. It was the 1964 Democratic primaries in Indiana, Wisconsin and Maryland when Wallace received around 1/3 of the votes. BTW, southern presidential candidates have almost always done well in the South.
