How much would Dukakis have won by if not for the media's bias?

The fact that he told Bernard Shaw that he wouldn't retaliate if a thug raped his own wife pretty much sealed his fate.

The triviality of a 2.46 percentage margin is really quite astounding. 

Alcon, where do you come up with this margin?  I though Bush won by 8 points -- 54%-46%.

He assumed that you referred to G W Bush, not G H W Bush.

I'd like to add that, if Alcon thinks 2.46% margin is trivial, then what of Al Gore's 0.48% margin in 2000, the one which Democrats still believe is a mandate for leftism? Not that any of this matters, since presidents are elected by 50 states, not by "popular margin."

I really ought to change my earlier comment because it was factually wrong. But I was 9 years old during the '88 election, so my impressions of Dukakis are all based on vague sense of hearsay.
