I had him losing Minnesota, but winning Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  

By 10 PM, I was rooting for a Reagan sweep.

Who knows...maybe Mondale himself was rooting for it, too? I don't think anyone could have imagined Reagan coming THAT close to winning every state. I mean it was just a couple thousand votes that made up the difference in MN.

I think both Mondale and Ferraro knew that their campaign would not end in victory. Did they predict they'd lose almost every state, I doubt it but I think they knew it would be a pretty one-sided election.

Yeah speaking of double digit leads, how about Dukakis in August of '88? He had a 17 pt. lead of Bush Sr. and lost in a landslide. It seems like whenever a GOP landslide is about to happen, the Democratic nominee has a great position in the polls during the summer months (ex: Mondale and Dukakis) Could this year have a similar result? We shall see...
