That story was such a lie -- but effective.

Horton was released on a "LAW" that was placed on the books by Republican Governor Sargeant -- who happens to be a cousin of my mother. I knew (Seargeant) him a bit when as a young, snotty-nosed kid having spent many a day running around his widowed, sister-in-law's house in Clinton, MA.

Nice guy and very sincere, but a wannabe' yank. Treated me great and came over and gave me a big hug/kiss as a baby (completely staged) for the cover of the next day's Boston papers during a St. Patrick's Day parade -- which is a big event in Boston.

Dukakis lost the popular vote by very little -- despite all the revisionary twists. The problem is that he lost nearly every state, that mattered, by a hair.

Duke's biggest problem was his psuedo-feminist, "out of touch" campaign manager who moved him to far to the left as the election came close. Strategy is to do the opposite. She was chasing/hoping for some MANDATE against a sitting VP when she saw DUKE up by eight/ten points in the summer.

Recognizing her error all so reluctantly -- she takes Dukakis in throws him in a tank -- in a last, sad effort to fend off criticism that she was blowing it.
