Walter Mondale and Bob Dole were experienced politicians, having spent a life in Washington.  Mike Dukakis was an ultra-liberal from my state who was weak on crime.  The previous statement may not be true, but the fact that he let himself be portrayed as that shows his weakness as a candidate.

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

True.
