What happened to the Dukakis lead? The answer to that question reveals the problems that have been plaguing the Dukakis campaign over the last month. It is a metamorphosized George Bush, or better yet, the revamped campaign philosophy coming out of the Bush camp. The strategy could have come right out of a Vince Lombardi playbook: offense, offense, offense. Keep your opponent on the defensive even when he thinks he's attacking...
