Never let them see you sweat During the debate between Vice President George H.W. Bush and Governor Michael Dukakis in 1988, it quickly became apparent the difficulty Bush was having keeping up with the governor. He frequently wiped his brow with a handkerchief during the debate. Although Bush won the election, Dukakis won huge points for his debating victories.
