6 Friday, February 19, 1988 / University Daily Kansan Gore spars with Dukakis and Gephardt in debate The Associated Press DALLAS — Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Jr., billing himself as "entirely different" from his Democratic presidential rivals, tangled with Rep. Richard Gephardt and Gov. Michael Dukakis last night in a crackling debate that raised the curtain on a three-week campaign for Southern support. Dukakis and Gephardt fired back, with the Massachusetts governor telling Gore "you'd better be accurate" with accusations and the Missouri congressman telling him to check "your own record first" before making charges of campaign flip-flops. Five of the six remaining Democratic presidential contenders participated in the two-hour debate on the Southern Methodist University campus. With the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary concluded, the debate marked the opening event in the run-up to Super Tuesday, the March 8 round of primaries and caucuses — primarily in Southern and border states — in which nearly a third of the Democratic National Convention delegates will be picked. Dukakis, winner of last Tuesday's new Hampshire primary, took a dig at the governor. the Iowa caucuses. "I think we were all a little surprised when Dick last Saturday stood up and said he was proud to vote for the Reagan tax bill" after telling Iowans that he did so only as a last resort, he said. But much of the fireworks were initiated by Gore in the two-hour confrontation that contained some of the most pointed language of the Democratic race for the White House. "I'm not going to sit here and listen to that," Dukakis said after the Tennessee senator accused him of a willingness to accept a Soviet client state in Nicaragua. "If you're going to be president of the United States you better be accurate." Gephardt sat silently when Gore accused him of a long list of shifts in positions on critical campaign issues, from Reaganomics to abortion and said a president has to stand his ground against pressure, whether from Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev or domestic groups. But a few moments later, the Missouri congressman acidly replied that he had listened to Gore's "lcture on consistency," adding, "maybe you ought to start looking at your own record first."
