Despite his advanced age, Reagan declared himself spry enough to seek a second term. However, with the Iran-Contra scandal occupying much of the first half of his term, it remained an open question whether Reagan could become the first two-term President since Eisenhower.

This is just terrible. Normally, I'd vote for the Democrat, but there's this to consider:


I'll have to mull this over. Might cast a blank ballot in protest.

A generally successful governor who ran a mediocre Presidential campaign, or a man who caused irrevocable damage to numerous American institutions, exacerbated wealth inequality, and unnecessarily aggrandized flagging world powers. Tough choice...

That's a bit harsh on Dukakis. Tongue

Guess I'll go with Dukakis. We can always boot him out in '92 if he's completely incompetent, and Reagan must be stopped!

Governor Michael Dukakis / Senator Lloyd Bentsen 307 51.5%
President Ronald Reagan / Vice-President George Bush 231 47.9%

The first Orthodox President was elected in an incredible close election with record turnout.
