...year, he buys a riding lawn mower and votes Republican." These voters, many of them Reagan Democrats, are conservative on social issues. Cook admits that Dukakis' veto of a compulsory Pledge of Allegiance to the flag is not going to help. But he counters by asserting, "Dan Quayle really hurts Bush with these people.
