Scope and Contents
In this 1988 political advertisement, the Dukakis campaign criticizes George Bush’s farm policy and selection of a vice-presidential candidate, suggesting that these choices reflect poor judgment.

Transcription
You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps. George Bush says that his farm policy will be crafted by John Block and Earl Butts. And for the person to sit one heartbeat away from the presidency, he chose Dan Quayle. Michael Dukakis chose Tom Daschle as an ag advisor, and his vice president is Lloyd Benson, who has roots in rural South Dakota. Choose the company you want to keep in the White House. Dukakis Benson. It's an exercise in good judgment.
