1988 was probably going to go the Republican anyway with either of those candidates, but many expected the Democrats to win.

Cuomo could have won; Dukakis really shot himself in the foot throughout the campaign.

Possibly, but I think Bush still would have won narrowly.

Certainly, but Dukakis was up 17 points in July; an experienced guy like Cuomo probably could have held that lead.
