They won't take his advice--too expensive. But we should. We could beat Hillary in a landslide if we organized down to the precinct level.

[edcoil]

With that name, how can you be positive about anything.

[Fledermaus]

My goodness, what revisionist history. This writer makes the last couple of Reagan years sound like the administration was being beaten down by Darth Vader’s storm troopers!

Democrats are so delusional.

[Graymatter]

Let’s ask Mikey to try it!
RUN MIKEY!

IMHO, this kind of geo-targeting should be what FR’s geo-centric boards should be geared towards. FR should be organizing people and letting people communicate from the national level on down to the congressional district level...lower if possible. With a lot of thinking and a little programming, it’s all possible.

So you can understand why the numerous harbingers of a triumphant 2008 for Democrats—George W. Bush’s Nixonian approval ratings, polls that show voters favoring a Democratic White House candidate by double-digit margins, the electorate’s historical aversion to three-term rule by one party—haven’t prompted Mr. Dukakis to begin planning his trip to the 2009 inaugural celebration...because he's also seen the harbingers of a Democrat loss in 2008 - the 'rat controlled congress at a record low approval rating of 18% (with independents rating them at only 17%) and recent polls between actual flesh-and-blood candidates showing both Rudy and Thompson beating Hillary...it ain't going to be a cakewalk for the Dems......

“There’s a chemistry there, which is hard to describe unless you’ve done it,” he said. “Otherwise, it permits your opponent to paint you as something you aren’t. It happened to me. It happened to Kerry. They tried to do it to Clinton. They’ll try to do it to anybody.”

OK, what does this mean? And why is Al Gore excluded? Was he painted accurately or what?

[DesScorp]

The problem with Pinchgut Mikey’s analysis is that he completely discounts the fact that his liberalism really soured the country on him. Remember when he made the moronic comments about rape and his wife? American men said “there’s no way in hell I’m voting for this clown”.

[Fast Ed97]

I forgot all about Dukakis. I did not agree with his politics, but he seemed not too bad of a guy. After his loss, I guess he kind of retreated unlike the attention whores we have now.

He also reminds me of a better time in American Politics..when liberals lost the Presidential race by landslides.

“...there are huge numbers of disaffected Republicans out there. Who says they won’t vote for us?”

Anyone with a synapse.

[Gay State Conservative]

The really delicious thing about Mike Dukakis is that,today,you can walk from one end of Massachusetts to the other and not find a single person who’ll admit to ever having voted for him.

:::::the 1988 version of Swift-Boating—the G.O.P.’s success with Willie Horton,:::::

the democraps are aces at this. for example:

bruce herschenshon was ahead of baba boxer in the polls

until the last weekend when she claimed that he had been looking

at porno.

he did not have time to respond.

[Old Sarge]

Sounds like Susie Estrich is still advising him. Now THERE’S a winner!

[JCEccles]

“there are huge numbers of disaffected Republicans out there. Who says they won’t vote for us?”

The Democrat-controlled Congress has, what--a 17 percent approval rating?

Everybody is just itching to reward the Democrats with more votes, you betcha. / sarcasm

[Brad from Tennessee]

It’s been 19 years but the Duke still makes me puke.

[Sgt_Schultze]

What a bitter old man.

[hinckley buzzard]

Mr. Dukakis has the idea of replicating, on every street, avenue, and rural route in the country, the kind of personal relationships that once powered big-city political machines—with precinct captains calling on their neighbors every few weeks, asking them about their concerns, talking up their candidate and following up on any questions they might have

I wonder if even he believes this Sh*t. The "big-city machine" worked on the basis of graft and corruption--pure and simple. Screw your "concerns," I got a job for your worthless brother-in-law--don't forget it."

[weegee]

Only a DUmmy would ever have believed that Michael Dukakis was responsible for a “Massachusetts Miracle”. Even the locals knew better and laughed at the idea.

[stylin19a]

He makes a point...as inept and goofy JF’nKerry is, he still got the most popular votes of anybody in history except GW.

[samtheman]

there are huge numbers of disaffected Republicans out there. Who says they won’t vote for us?

Right. We're disaffected because so much of the Republican Party leadership has become a bunch of brain-damaged liberals, and our disgust with the liberals in our party is going to lead us to go vote for a bunch of brain-damaged anti-American leftists. Sounds good to me. Where do I sign up for brain damage?

[nwrep]

This is actually misplaced pessimism on Dukakis’ part. Reagan was hugely popoular, with a 49-state 500+ electoral vote landslide four years earlier. Bush has done nothing remotely close.
