He, much more than George Bush, has a vision for the entire United States. His guaranteed health insurance and child care programs for working people illustrate his compassion for eveiy American, as opposed to only those in the highest economic strata. In addition, Dukakis strongly supports increased federal student loans and other economic assistance for students. As we all know, we need a President who will lead the nation into the 1990s. Unless we can all afford an education, the U.S. will flounder in the world market. Mike Dukakis has shown that he will effectively lead the nation in its attempt to regain predominance internationally. His continued success at the helm of government in Massachusetts also provides ample support of his leadership ability. If one cares to look beyond the half-truths which the Bush campaign puts forth, he will find that Dukakis has been able to make Massachusetts the model to follow in areas ranging from welfare reform to budget balancing. In addition, Dukakis has been able to surround himself with the best advisers from top institutions and think tanks. We cannot believe m ami he will do otherwise once in the Presidency. His choice of Lloyd Bentsen, whom some will argue is the best of the four candidates for the highest offices of the land, demonstrates his keen ability to choose people who complement, rather than echo, his views. &lacb This, of course, leads to the obvious counter-example which George Bush provided with his choice of Dan Quayle as the Vice- Presidential nominee. Suffice to say that if Bush had chosen a more qualified and able running mate, like Elizabeth Dole or Jack Kemp, Madness, no method, in campaigns this endorsement might have swung the other way. But more than Dan Quayle stands in the way of a sure endorsement of George Bush. Bush's resume, impressively long as it is, reveals a n lack of leadership. He sponsored very few bills while in the House of Representatives, didn't even learn to speak Chinese while Ambassador to China, and stayed at the CIA only long enough to establish relations with Panama dictator Manuel Noriega.
