Bob Beckel, who ran Walter Mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign and co-hosted more than 700 episodes of “The Five,” has died. He was 73. Columnist Cal Thomas broke the news Monday afternoon ...
Mondale and Ferraro lost the election to the incumbents Reagan and Bush, with Reagan winning 49 states and Mondale carrying only his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia. After his defeat, Mondale joined the Minnesota-based law firm Dorsey & Whitney and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (1986–1993).
Mondale served as vice president under Carter from 1977 to 1981. [7] In January 1981, shortly before Mondale left office as vice president, CBS News reported that he had decided to run for president in 1984. [8] Even prior to his declaration of candidacy, Mondale's 1984 prospective candidacy received Carter's endorsement.
Mondale's 13 electoral college votes marked the lowest total of any major presidential candidate since Alf Landon's 1936 loss to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the fewest of any Democrat since Stephen A. Douglas claimed 12 in the 1860 election, as well as the worst for a Democrat in a two-way race.
Joe Biden's "good government" could have come straight out of a Mondale-Ferraro campaign flier. It lost big in 1984. Maybe it'll do better this time.
Reagan ran with incumbent Vice President George H. W. Bush of Texas, while Mondale's running mate was Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro of New York. On election day, Reagan won 51.22% of the vote in the state to Mondale's 48.43%, a margin of 2.79%. Massachusetts had been a Democratic-leaning state since 1928, and a Democratic stronghold since 1960.
"This hasn't happened in 40 years, since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation. And remember, he lost 49 out of 50 states. I don't want to say there's a direct connection there."
