Former Massachusetts governor and 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis tackled the major issues of the 2000 campaign last night in the Eliot House Junior Common Room.
Dukakis, who is currently teaching at Northeastern University, expressed support for Vice President Al Gore '69 over challenger Bill Bradley.
"While I am supporting the Vice President, I have a great amount of respect for Bill Bradley," Dukakis said. "There really are no frontrunners yet."
The 2000 elections provide an opportunity for the Democratic Party to distinguish itself, Dukakis said.
Dukakis also touched on health insurance, an issue that has recently dominated the national discourse. He emphasized the Democratic Party's commitment to providing health care for all citizens.
