Would Lee Atwater and Dukakis’s weaknesses be enough to get Quayle elected, or was Quayle unelectable?

Even with Dukakis' gaffes, Quayle just isn't a good candidate.

I'd be more interested to see what the result would have been if it had been Bentsen vs. Quayle. I imagine Bentsen would have won all of the states Dukakis does here, in addition to Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Delaware, and possibly also New Jersey and North Carolina.
Bentsen would be immune to Atwater, so Quayle wouldn’t have a chance.
