Gov. Dukakis became irritated when Ms. Woodruff asked, as a hypothetical question, what he would do if, early in his administration, the stock market fell f>(H) points in one day. and, instead of rebounding, dropped another 400 points the next day.
“I’d turn the problem over to my vice-president,” he replied.

"It happened last October," the moderator replied, with irritation obvious in her voice. Her response met with applause from the audience.
Sen. Hart then added, “Let the record show the governor didn't answer the question," which brought another burst of applause from the audience.
Asked after the debate whether he felt the atmosphere was "testy." Sen. Gore replied that "I'm not — I’m enjoying it. I call on my opponents to debate Saturday in Nashville," in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
