Dukakis should have emphasized Iran-Contra more.  The Democrats never go for the throat the way the Republicans do.

Exactly. They need to wake up to the fact that negative campaigns win. And, unlike the Republicans, the Democrats have the facts on their side.

For all the MA bashing, their crime rate is well below the national average. In fact, the murder rate is now 2.0 per 100,000 in MA, and 5.5 per 100,000 in the country as a whole.

"Is" is 18 years later.

I've been refrring to the campaign; ironically, after the DNC that year, Dukakis was 17 points ahead of Bush.

Fine, in 1988, MA had 3.5 and the US had 8.4. Happy?
