Liberty's election rankings

1988 should be in the top ten!

I agree. In terms of interest, the 1988 primaries were fascinating, and there was a huge swing in poll support in the months before the election. The use of media by Atwater set new standards.

By comparison, the 1984 election held little interest since the primaries provided far less action and the general election contest was predictable.

To everyone's immense relief Harrison made it through the first month of his administration without suffering the fate of his grandfather.

Loved this line!

I toured the Harrison homestead in VA in May. They comment that whereas the first Pres. Harrison gave the longest inaugural speech and contracted pneumonia, the second Pres. Harrison intentionally gave the shortest Inaugural address. No way would he suffer his grandfather's fate.
