When Ted Kennedy declined to run in 1984, that put Mondale in the driver's seat for the nomination. Gary Hart probably picked up a lot of the Kennedy '80 vote but not all of it. After all, Kennedy did endorse Mondale.
Hart made a good race of it (winning several late primaries such as California and Ohio), but Mondale was just too strong with the unions--helping him with the nomination but of little benefit in the general election.
