Hey, remember that time when a party went behind that "electable" former governor from Massachusetts.
I mean, there was a guy who was a happy warrior who the rank and file liked, but they listened to party elders and voted for the "electable" guy.
His name was Mike Dukakis, and he beat Jesse Jackson. And promptly lost to George H. Bush.
I never felt sorry for 1988 Democrats. Until now.
