The 1988 Jesse Jackson presidential campaign was Jackson's second time running for President of the United States. This time, his successes in the past made him a more credible candidate, and he was both better financed and better organized. Although most people did not seem to believe he had a serious chance at winning, Jackson once again exceeded expectations as he more than doubled his previous results, prompting many pundits to call 1988 "the Year of Jackson." Jackson, and eventual nominee Michael Dukakis, outlasted all other candidates to the final primaries, including California. Jackson came in second in delegates behind Dukakis, and beat future Vice President Al Gore, future President Joe Biden, and Dick Gephardt, among others.
