 SPLCenter.org: God's Own Spoilers
Considering the dismal track record of American third parties, it's also one of the longest-lasting, having existed in one form or another since Wallace's wildly successful third-party effort in 1968 (see related interview, Crashing the Parties).
Ever since the remains of Wallace's American Independent Party merged with other far-right entities to form the party that was initially known as the U.S. Taxpayers Party in 1992, it had been trying to lure another big-name presidential candidate to raise its profile — the key to making a third party viable.
Others speculated that his reasons were political; the Alabama GOP had struck a local candidate off the Republican primary ballot after she spoke highly of the Constitution Party, and the presidential bid might have wrecked Moore's prospects of running as a Republican for Alabama governor in 2006.

 George Wallace, American Independent Party, 1968
Despite his electoral defeats, in 1968, 1972, and 1976, Wallace's influence on 20th Century politics, particularly conservatism, is hard to overestimate.
The reputation that he earned through his adamant opposition to federal authority in civil rights enforcement, coupled with his successful primary bids in Indiana, Maryland, and Wisconsin, put Wallace in a prime position to compete in the 1968 presidential election.
If nothing else, Wallace, who died in September 1998, is a classic example of a third party candidate who dared to buck accepted trends, only to have his attitude and agenda adopted (coopted, some would say) by America's political mainstream.
