Oops, sorry, I overlooked that.

Are you Mike Dukakis?

Yep. Take it away, EH!

Thanks! I worked on his presidential campaign, as it happens, first as a volunteer and then on the national field staff, in 1987-88. Interviewed with him, met him a couple of times, and got around over the course of the campaign to six states and the Democratic National Convention (in Atlanta that year). I liked him and was sorry he didn’t win.
