Ah yes, I remember it well, .......
It was the first election that I paid close attention to, and the first general election in which I voted. And I remember that the first sign that Dukakis was in trouble was when he decided that he could not compete in Florida, so he wasn't going to try. First, he pulled out all campaign resources from Florida and just focused on the other 49 states. As the campaign wore on, he pulled out from several other states too, just concentrating on those that were winnable and which had at least 270 EC votes. But when he pulled out of Florida, I knew he was going to lose.
I voted for him anyway. I had the wrong reason to do so, and I've regretted it ever since.
