Preferred term

Michael Dukakis  

Definition

  • Michael S. Dukakis was governor of the state of Massachusetts and the Democratic nominee for president in the 1988 election. Much of his loss to George H. W. Bush in that election is thought to have derived from political miscalculations such as a photo op in an M1 Abrams tank in Michigan and the failure of his campaign to respond to Republican attacks ads that portrayed Dukakis as soft on crime. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Communication; Dukakis, Michael (1933–)]
