Here's the narrative of Time magazine at that time:
"Bush brought a speech as good as Michael Dukakis's speech in New Orleans - The audience cheered and applauded very long, and even at room television operator. People talk about his speech (public speaking skills) was very intriguing. With a convincing style, Bush introduced the concepts of family, freedom and future. "(Stephen R. Maloney, Talk Your Way To The Top, 1992).
