id lean towards dukakis.

i know it is tempting to say mondale since he carried only one state.  but one must remember he was going against an extremely popular incumbent.

hypothetically speaking, mondale could have performed better in 88 than dukakis.

Dukakis, because 1988 was a winnable race.  1984 and 1996 weren't really competitive.

did dukakis do better than jesse jackson would have done?  people forget just how close jackson came to winning the nomination.
