1988 was simply an old-timer Grandpa type vs. a Square.

I remember a video of Dukakis and Bush talking to schoolchildren during the '88 campaign. Bush is telling the kids about how he can "talk to fish" and is making the kids laugh talking to their goldfish named "Rainbow".

Dukakis was telling a little boy grabbing his tie, "Now look...you're gonna have to stop doing that (awkward laugh)" and seemed annoyed.

That's one thing I remember as a little boy from 1992. George Bush seemed nice, calm, quiet and I always saw Clinton red-faced and yelling and it kinda scared me.

Of course, I was only 4 years old.
