Dukakois was the governor of MA who ran for president against George HW Bush. The republicans conducted the most effective slime campaign seen since World War II. Their use of Willie Horton touched all the US's hot buttons.

Michael Dukakis (D) was the Governor of Massachusetts. John Kerry was his Lieutenant Governor. Dukakis ran against Bush Senior. In a famous set of ads (first proposed by another Democrat during the dem primaries!!) a picture of a hairy fierce black gentleman named "Willie Horton" was plastered all over the TV..Willie Horton was a violent criminal that received a "weekend pass" under a Dukakis plan, that allowed Mssr. Horton to brutalize, rape, pistol whip and kill some additional folks. The TV ad pointed this out. linky

Finally, when Dukakis was asked during a Presidential debate, how he would feel if his own wife or daughter was violently raped, he waffled and blurt out some liberal, mumbo-jumbo that made him look totally out of touch with reality.

The Massachusetts Governor then went on to resounding defeat in the Presidential election: linky

However, the Governor's defeat was nothing compared to the REALLY impressive defeat of Walter Mondale: linky youch!

And of course, Senator McGovern aquitted himself rather poorly in his bid for the Presidency as well: linky , but not as poorly as good ol' Walter Mondale.

Mondale was so talented at losing, that the DEMOCRATS PERFORMED CPR ON HIM, and tried to run him against Norm Coleman, to retain Sen. Wellstone's seat after his untimely death in an airplane crash (which wouldn't have happened if the good Senator had kept his pledge not to seek another term). Mssr. Mondale demonstrated his passion for losing elections once again, and was returned to the funeral home from whence he came.

"Die-hard liberals" - there's layers of meaning to that phrase!!!
