If the election turns out to be as close as now appears likely, a few smallish states could be decisive-north or south of the Mason-Dixon line. But it seems unlikely that the South will go as a bloc for any one candidate. Wallace will almost certainly take a few states, with Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana his surest bets.
