Dukakis managed to squander a huge lead. Mondale never had a chance to begin with, and he actually came out swinging in the great debates with Reagan. I feel kinda sorry for Bob Dole's peanut butter and Bob Dole's chair... They all never had a chance.

The 1988 Democratic ticket would have won had Lloyd Bentsen been running for president and Dukakis for veep.

True.

I also agree with that.

me too. I've said that so many times, then again, so has almost everyone who discusses the 88 campaign..

I agree completely as well. On a score of fitness, Senator Bentsen far outshined the head of the ticket. In my opinion, he deserved a shot at the Presidency, and probably would have won.
