1984 Defeat
Mondale's defeat was by the largest margin since the 1930's, worse even than George McGovern's in 1972. While Mondale's defeat is striking, the campaign is also notable because it was the first time a woman was included on a major party's ticket. Geraldine Ferraro was selected as his Vice Presidential candidate.
2002 Campaign
In 2002 Mondale ran for the Senate again, replacing Senator Paul Wellstone on the ballot when Wellstone died in a plane crash 11 days before the election. Mondale lost to Republican Norm Coleman.
