Top Ten Presidential Campaign Moments of the Democrats

10) Best One-Liner: In an otherwise disastrous campaign, the Dukakis/Bentsen 88 ticket produced one enduring rejoinder that had Democrats everywhere cheering and wiping away nostalgic tears. In the vice-presidential debate, Texas senator Lloyd Bentsen faced off against Dan Quayle who, providing a taste of miscues to come, opined, I have far more experience than many others that sought the office of vice-president of this country. I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency. You can see Bentsen taking his time with his reply, relishing every moment, until he drops the K-bomb: Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy. I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, youre no Jack Kennedy.
