1992 election
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." <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, George Bush]], by Zachary Kent, Children's Press, 1993. </ref>

==1992 election==
By 1992 three candidates were running. The Republican's candidate was President [[George H.W. Bush]], the Democrat's [[Bill Clinton]], and businessman [[H. Ross Perrot]] ran independantly. The first debate between the three candidates took place in St.Louis, Missouri. Clinton called for economic reform and change, [[Bush]] for traditional "family values", while Perrot claimed he had the solution to the economic problems. The second debate took place in Richmond, Virginia. The third and final debate happened in East Lansing, Michigan. Bush started a new more successful line of attack against Clinton during this debate. A famous quote that Bush said was, "Watch out, Middle America, Clinton is going to stick it right in your wallet."
