In 1988, the MSM touted polls showing Dukakis with a double-digit lead around this point in time.

Sure enough, it vanished by October and Bush went to defeat him 54-46 percent.

Its way too early to draw any definite conclusion about Hillary’s electability.

It was 18% and I remember it well. Then came the debates and Willie Horton. Ducockeye was then disassembled.
