The only candidates who wouldn't have alienated Mondale's supports and thus kept MN Democratic were McGovern, Glenn, and Udall(if he had ran). Everyone else was way too negative against Mondale. Hart would have flipped 3.67-3.75% of the vote to himself, thus winning MA & RI, but would have lost MN unless he chose Mondale as his running-mate or keynote speaker. McGovern would have made SD a lot closer and would have won MA, RI, & MN. He might have managed to flip both the Dakotas if he "healed" himself in the eyes of the moderate non-establishment progressives.
