Dukakis and Mondale were NEVER grass roots candidates. They were politics as usual. BIG DIFFERENCE!

Willie Horton was behind Dukakis. He had a lot to be thankful for. After stabbing a gas station attendant 19 times during a robbery he went to prison with no chance for parole. Along comes Dukakis and gives guys like Willy a weekend pass from prison. So what does Willy do. He takes the pass and doesn't come back. Then " On June 6, 1986, convicted murderer Willie Horton was released from the Northeastern Correctional Center in Concord. Under state law, he had become eligible for an unguarded, 48-hour furlough. He never came back. * Horton showed up in Oxon Hill, Maryland, on April 3, 1987. Clifford Barnes, 28, heard footsteps in his house and thought his fiancée had returned early from a wedding party. Suddenly Willie Horton stepped out of the shadows with a gun. For the next seven hours, Horton punched, pistol-whipped, and kicked Barnes - and also cut him 22 times across his midsection. * When Barnes' fiancée Angela returned that evening, Horton gagged her and savagely raped her twice. Horton then stole Barnes' car, and was later chased by police until captured. * On October 20, 1987, Horton was sentenced in Maryland to two consecutive life terms plus 85 years. The sentencing judge refused to return Horton to Massachusetts, saying, "I'm not prepared to take the chance that Mr. Horton might again be furloughed or otherwise released. This man should never draw a breath of free air again." forerunner.com
