Talk:1984 Democratic Party presidential primaries

Private Citizens Nominated for President

The last paragraph of the "primary race" section asserts that Mondale was only the fourth private citizen to win the Democratic nomination. I don't believe that's true...Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, and would by definition won his third nomination as a private citizen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmeriMike (talk • contribs) 03:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

where are the delegate counts? 204.128.230.1 (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The delegate count should read Mondale 2191, Hart 1200.5, Jackson 465.5 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.30.112.57 (talk) 21:04, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Primary Results

Uh...what is this with Lane Kirkland winning West Virginia, Hollings winning four contests, etc. while Hart is listed as winning 0% in a slew of states that he's shown as winning on the map? Something's off there... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.239.146.74 (talk) 06:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Source?

I am trying to find a source for the June 12, North Dakota, 3%, 5% information in this article. Please advise, Kingturtle (talk) 00:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Many states missing from the grid.

Is there any reason why South Carolina results are not in the grid showing all the results? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunfishtommy (talk • contribs) 00:34, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, in addition to South Carolina, there are many states missing, such as Maine. The latter was, if I recall accurately, a contentious election and delegate allotment. Many states were, no doubt. Aside from speculation, let us get the facts up concerning the missing contests: the popular vote recorded in each state, and the respective delegates allotted.

In the main chart, if the columns for "Uncommitted" and "Lyndon LaRouche" were eliminated, there would exist space for a separate group of listings vertically, being "Delegates awarded", and for each of the three final candidates, being the delegate leaders Walter Mondale, Gary Hart, and Jesse Jackson. Therefore, I therefore suggest that, in addition to the deleted columns (Uncommitted, L. LaRouche), and now with all 50 states added to the *rows* (including U.S. territories overseas), and with separate delegate columns for Mondale, Hart, and Jackson added, a far more comprehensive mapping of the 1984 Democratic Party nomination process would be completed.

Potential candidates who did not run

In articles on later Democratic Party presidential primaries, there are listed

“ Potential Candidates who Did not Run ”

or in the article on 2008 Democratic candidates

“ Speculated candidates who decided against running ”

or in the article on 2016 candidates

“ Individuals listed in this section have been the focus of media speculation as being possible 2016 presidential candidates but have publicly, and unequivocally, ruled out a presidential bid in 2016. ”

.

It is of interest to me to know if there were any individuals who were speculated to be possible Democratic presidential candidates in 1984 (say, from the beginning of 1982 judging by the list here) but who declined to run?? I do imagine such candidates did exist, and I would be interested to see them listed here if it be possible to do so.

Dakin Williams

Just thought this might be of interest, given it is Tennessee Williams'... rather eccentric brother. However, I haven't found any info on the actual campaign, only that he planned to run. Ariostos (talk) 22:36, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Endorsement Maps

Saw that they did this for the 2024 Presidential Election, and figured that there was enough information to start. Unfortunately, there is no accurate SVG or PNG of the 1982 Congressional Districts which would have been used, meaning that California, New York and New Jersey can't accurately have data placed. Maps of the Senate and Governors are coming, given those can just use base maps. Do we know anyone who would be capable of drawing up in Inkscape the 1982 Congressional Map?
