1988: Dole vs Dukakis

[Mr. Smith]

What if Michael Dukakis had faced Bob Dole instead?

My first guess, would be something like this

Michael Dukakis/Lloyd Bentsen (Democratic): 287 EV
Bob Dole/Terry Branstad (Republican): 251 EV

What do you think?

And yes, I may be giving Bob Dole a little too much good faith.

440 - 98

Bob Dole(R-KS)/Guy Vander Jagt(R-MI) - 54.3%
Michael Dukakis(D-MA)/Neil Goldschmidt(D-OR) - 44.1%
Other: 1.6%

Keynote Speakers:
Republican: Jeane Kirkpatrick
Democratic: Al Gore/Barbara Roberts

The Republicans nominate a charming but boring policy wonk for President and the "most clever speaker in Washington". The Democrats, meanwhile, have a libertarian shift on the bottom of their ticket.
