Mondale's defeat was by the largest margin since the 1930's, worse even than [[George McGovern|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 president|Vice Presidential]] candidate.
