Dukakis also led Bush in all polls until the final two weeks of the 1988 season.
I realize the demographics have changed but they haven't changed much since the 2010 midterm elections. And what about Wisconsin and the Scott Walker recall?
Thank you. I knew about Regan/Carter but I didn’t realize about Dukakis/Bush. And that was AFTER he was, literally “in the tank” and after he gave that creepy response to the debate question about his wife being raped and murdered.
Although, that was a pretty smarmy question. If Dukakis had gone all Gingrich on the questioner’s butt, who knows where we’d be today?
I understand the lack of love for Romney, but aside from those who chose not to run (like Palin or Christie or whoever) which of the contenders would have been better?
Yeah, we THOUGHT some of them would have been better, Perry for example....but they imploded. That’s not Romney’s fault.
And let’s face it...it isn’t so much that Romney deserves to win (a case can be made for it, or course) but Obama DESERVES TO LOSE.
If the American VOTERS can’t see that with their own eyes, I don’t know who, how, or with what plan(s) could make them see it.
Not true about 1988. Bush was ahead by at least 6 a week before. Bush struggled in September but found his groove in October.
