Hi all,
As you all know, Michael Dukakis was victorious in the 1988 Primaries, though he eventually lost the General Election to Bush on comfortable margins.
Apparently though Dukakis was in front after the 2 conventions however. So, my question is, who would have been the best candidate to sustain that innicial lead and beat Bush, or at least give him a run for his money.
It'd be great if you could give your reasons as to why you think your favoured candidate would have been better able to beat Bush, double bonus if you can name a running mate for them!
So, lets discuss.
Note: I am aware some of the people in the pole didn't run in the 88 primaries, this is a list of candidates who I believe could have entered the primaries-though some of them are more likely nominees than others...
