What was the feeling of the party?. Did they go into panic mode after losing 2 of the last 4 elections in 49 state landslides or did the say ok we got routed we have to re-examine our policies?
I mean you lost 2 49 state landslides in a span of 12 years and the other Presidential Election in 1980 you only win 6 states except for the 1976 Carter victory. In my opinion you took a butt whopping in 3 of those 4 Presidential Elections you had your whopping if you will. Its like the Buffalo Bills losing 4 Super Bowls in a row.
It seemed like McGovern was way ahead of his time in 1972 for the coalition that the Dems enjoy now and in 1984 the candidate(Mondale) was still running on policies from the "New Deal" in the mid 1960's.
