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.
No I really can't follow it. I have no idea what drugs have to do with this dicsusssion. I can't believe you're seriously claiming that white southerners would leave the democratic party for the republicans because kids in the sixties were taking drugs? I gave them credit for more brains than that when I claimed it was over civil rights for blacks.
I count Maryland as a southern state because it was only kept in the union by force and because Jim Crow laws prevailed there along with the rest of the south.
