Bush also brushed off Dukakis' invitation for a third debate, saying the real debate should be between the old and new Dukakis. Quayle said he was glad the Massachusetts governor had resolved his political "identity crisis."
Dukakis invoked the names of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy, saying those Democrats stood for "caring government and caring political leadership. That's the kind of president I want to be."
At his first stop of the day, Dukakis did not repeat the "I am a liberal" statement he made Sunday after dodging the label for months. But he later cloaked himself in the "liberal tradition of great presidents" as he made his way through California, and said Bush doesn't...
Democrats said their own private surveys showed late gains for their side, but Bush advisers said their man was leading in virtually all the large states that Dukakis would need to carry to forge an upset.
At stops from Bakersfield to Stockton on Sunday, Dukakis told voters, "We need a president in the tradition, yes, the liberal tradition of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John Kennedy."
