Dukakis." A name with more than two vowels in it running for President! The last time that had happened was Eisenhower {who looked good on a tank}. Generally speaking, Americans like their presidents to have no more than two vowels. Truman. Johnson. Nixon. Clinton. If they have more than two vowels {Reagan}, they can have no more than two syllables. Even better is one syllable and one vowel: Bush. Had to do that twice.
