| − | In 1988 there were two debates between Republican candidate, [[George H.W. Bush]], and Democratic candidate, [[Michael Dukakis]]. The first debate took place on September 25 in Walke Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina. In it Bush didn't do as well as Dukakis, looking uncertain and making several mistakes. By the second debate however Bush looked more confident, certain, and personal. Dukakis however showed as much emotion (as the ''Newsweek'' magazine said) "as a schoolboy eating brocoli." | + | In 1988 there were two debates between Republican candidate, [[George H.W.
