not an upset at all. dukakis was possibly the worst presidential candidate from either party in the 20th century. he had the personality of an automoton, the spine of a jellyfish, and when he put on that stupid helmet and rode around in that tank he looked like a complete moron. the biggest surprise is that lloyd bentsen agreed to be his running mate. i am still convinced he somehow bribed or blackmailed bentsen, or that senator bentsen was temporarily insane. george bush in effect won reagan's third term, despite having that mental midget dan quayle as his running mate.
