Mondale, in an interview approximately 10 years back said that in the closing weeks after the last debate, they knew there were only a few states they had a prayer at. In the last two weeks, they poured a bunch of $$$ into MN hoping that he could hold his own state to avoid the sweep. They didn't want to spread $$$ around. Ironically, he won MN by .28% and I'm not convinced he did. I bet something went on to give him the winl
Im guessing that those few states were Minnesota, Massachussetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island. Possibly Pennsylvania and Iowa too. Even New York probably looked out of reach for Mondale in the final weeks.
