Tradition? Members of the Wallace clan in Alabama have always run as Democrats in statewide elections - that is, until now. The patriarch, exGov. George C. Wallace, was elected to the legislature and governorship as a Democrat. Except for a run for prez as an American Independent in '68, Wallace continued to campaign as a Democrat. One of his wives, a brother, a nephew and a son, George C. Wallace, Jr., all ran for public office as Democrats. So it was a surprise when George Jr. announced that he would run for a seat on the Public Service Commission - as a Republican. No stranger to candidacy himself, George, Jr. has run and lost for both Congress and lieutenant governor - as a Democrat.
