Dukakis was the ultimate liberal (who looked very goofy in a tank). Beyond the Politics, I had a real problem with Michael Dukakis as a Presidential Candidate. I could never vote for anyone whose last name sounds like what my mother would tell me to do before we went on a long drive. Despite his liberal agenda, Dukakis was always afraid to be called a liberal: This election isn't about ideology, it's...

From The American Spectator : "This election isn't about ideology, it's about competence." -- Michael Dukakis, 1988 "The choice in this election is not between left or right, it's not between liberal or conservative, it's between the past and the future." -- Barack Obama, 2008 Why? Why do liberals who capture their party's presidential nomination say things like this? Why are they so afraid to say,...

Michael Dukakis was on Hannity & Colmes last night (7/2/08) and proved that there’s a lot more to the 1988 Democratic presidential candidate than Willie Horton and the tank photos. Clearly, Dukakis has learned a lot since he lost the election. He deftly turned aside Republican co-host Michael Steele’s repeated attempts to tarnish Barack Obama as being too liberal, slammed John McCain and the Bush administration...

Download | Play Download | Play (h/t Heather) Former Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele, who lost decisively to Ben Cardin in 2006 despite every effort to distance himself as a Republican, guest hosted on Hannity & Colmes and was bested by none other than former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis. For Steele, labels are all important–again a fascinating turn for [...]

Barack Obama today: “At times over the last 16 months, my patriotism [has been] challenged - at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears about who I am and what I stand for.” Not a bad theme. You [...]

In 2007, Barack Obama racked up the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate, according to National Jounal 's report, " Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007 ." Now, however, folks are noticing a shift in Obama's campaign rhetoric toward greater centrism. The lurch to the middle is a regular feature of presidential politics. After wrapping up the nomination, the party standard-bearer needs to heal the...

Most recent polls give Senator Barack Obama only a modest lead over Senator John McCain. Should Democrats worry about his margin? Consider the last time a Democrat faced a nonincumbent candidate under a Republican president. From May to July 1988, Governor Michael Dukakis ran ahead of Vice President George H.W. Bush. Dukakis's lead ranged from three to seventeen points.

It’s starting to look like déjà vu all over again. A year ago, the campaign of John McCain, once the darling of the media (at least as far as Republicans go) was in shambles - nearly broke, cutting staff and on the verge of extinction. The former GOP frontrunner, McCain seemed destined to join the likes [...]
