that's not the way I remember it...I thought Reagan did make a late stop in Minnesota and in doing so cost him the state due to the fact that the people of Minnesota didn't like Reagan trying to rub Mondale's nose in it.

Is my memory wrong?

no, jmfcst's memory is not wrong...Reagan did make a last minute stop in Minnesota:

It's interesting how many talking points do liberal blogs of today share with Soviet media of 1984.

After 2 consecutive incumbents defeated, Americans were ready to re-elect someone who seemed even halfway decent.
