I've never been entirely sure if Dukakis was a traditional liberal. My father would say he was, and my memories of that campaign would tend to agree with him, but I was still doing drugs so I don't trust my memory.
I am utterly certain that Dukakis is responsible for abdicating the right of liberals to define themselves by refusing to defend the label after Bush Sr tainted it.
I remember watching Nixon's resignation on TV with my father too. No one shushed him and his only comment was "Don't let those tears fool you. He's not sorry. He's crying because he lost all that power."
