The 1988 National Convention of the U.S. Democratic Party was held at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia from July 18–July 21, 1988 to select candidates for the 1988 presidential election. At the convention Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts was nominated for President and Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas for Vice President. The chair of the convention was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Jim Wright. ==Notable speakers==
* Texas State Treasurer Ann Richards gave a keynote speech that put her in the public spotlight and included the line that George H.W. Bush was "born with a silver foot in his mouth". This speech was listed as #38 in American Rhetoric's Top 100 Speeches of the 20th Century (listed by rank). * Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy's remarks contained the famous iteration "Where was George?" * Arkansas governor Bill Clinton gave a widely jeered nomination speech opening night address that some predicted would ruin his political career, a source of much satisfaction to him 4 years later when he was elected the 42nd President of the United States. * Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower, who called Bush "a toothache of a man." * Former President Jimmy Carter of Georgia * Former Vice President Walter Mondale of Minnesota * Former Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota * John F. Kennedy, Jr. * Jesse Jackson In one of the subsequent presidential debates, when questioned about the general alleged "negativity" of the campaign, Bush cited the ''ad hominem'' attacks against him at the Convention as the root cause, an assertion not rebutted by Dukakis then or subsequently.
