Dukakis ran against a sitting VP. Mondale ran against a sitting P. Gore ran against a governor. When both opposing candidates come from the preferred experience pool (executives), other factors obviously come into play. The only way to disprove the point is to find examples of senators or congresspeople beating executives. There are only two in the last hundred years.
