Sadly enough, probably neither Dukakis nor Bush is equipped with the moxie and the imagination to run the kind of campaign that would be a tonic for the nation's flagging political spirits --a campaign in which the candidate says what he thinks, takes questions from all comers, and dares to let the networks create their own sound bites. Such a mythical candidate might be destined to lose as badly as Barry Goldwater and George McGovern. Or maybe, just maybe, the handlers -- and their candidates -- have underestimated the good sense of the American people.
