Written by Peter Carey Walter Mondale, the former 42nd vice president under Jimmy Carter and whose accomplished career was marred by one of the worst electoral beatings in American history after bluntly telling voters to expect a tax increase if he won, died Monday. Mondale, who was also the first presidential candidate to select a woman, Geraldine Ferraro, to be his running mate, was 93. The Associated Press reported his death, citing his family. A U.S. senator from Minnesota from 1964 to 1976, he was the Democratic Party s nominee in the 1984 presidential election, but lost to incumbent Ronald Reagan in an Electoral College and popular vote landslide. Reagan won 49 states while Mondale carried his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia. His vice presidential nominee, U.S. Representative Geraldine Ferraro from New York, was the first female vice-presidential nominee of any major party in U.S. history.
