He was wrong, as usual. And now he's dead. His beltway ass kissing won't be missed. Ta, Broder. You were an asshole when you were alive. If there is a Hell, you may have a one-way ticket there. Enjoy. Amen.
@bensonrt FDR did cause the great depression. Its been proven that Hoover was right to stay the course because had we it was found the depression would have ened in 1936 not in the mid forties.
@thebig1, get back to class ! and pay ATTENTION ! 1929 stockmarket crash, Federal Reserve does nothing, business pull back, Smoot-Hally Act prcotionism, state-local-federal spending pull back, 1930-31-32 unemployement reaches 25%!, Hoover & GOP in-charge until March 1933.
March 1933 FDR declares "Bank Holiday" to shut down insolvent banks, & Glass-Steigal Act, slightly increases Federal spending by implement ing stuff Hoover was empowered to do...
Dukakis was leading in the polls by 5% when the Republicans aired the story about Willie Horton just days before the election. The fact that Dukais had nothing to do with Horton's release didn't matter, it caused many independents to vote for Bush and Dukakis lost. The White House also suppressed stories about Bush's ties to Iran-Contra, his drug running buddy and His girl friend Fitzgerald.
If the public had known these stories, Bush would have lost big time.
Yes, skimpy and unsubstantiated. Obama is not Dukakis. McCain is no GHW Bush. The country is not going to vote for McCain simply because a Republican pollster working for the ultra-Conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford says he will win.
Great, a two party dictatorship, each offering a corporate Media pre-selected and Zionist/AIPAC approved CFR candidate. Its a good bet that there will be massive election fraud favoring Joe Liberman's puppet(McCain)
Given the pharse from the last election which gave the Democrats a mandate to pull out of Iraq, and showed congress is mostly corrupt (or intimidated by US military Anthrax) thus that the Patriot Act secret wiretap secret detention Fascist gov is no longer by, of or for the People
He fails to mention that Reagan was one of the most popular Republicans and therefore being his vice-president was a plus. Now any association with Dubya is a big negative.

That was a pretty skimpy analysis by Broder; not really worthy of Fora.
Sorry, Fora folks.

I was 13 years old when Dukakis ran for president, and even then I could see that was not a very good candidate. Obama will do more than fine.
