how will walter mondale be remembered?— how will walter mondale be remembered? ., ., , remembered? — remembered? one of the greatest seconds, maybe the _ remembered? one of the greatest seconds, maybe the greatest - seconds, maybe the greatest seconds, maybe the greatest second in american history. he was a important liberal senator from minnesota, appointed when humphrey became vice president. of course he was second to of course he was second to jimmy carter asjimmy carter's jimmy carter as jimmy carter's vice jimmy carter asjimmy carter's vice president and much to his cheek when he was second to ronald reagan when reagan defeated him in a landslide in 1984. —— chagrin. he will also be remembered for having the first female running mate and for transforming the vice presidency. following up... nobody more than an attack dog for lyndonjohnson or who was frozen out of the kennedy circle. it was walter mondale who foreshadowed the next group of really subsequent vice presidents like al gore, dick cheney and of coursejoe biden. both biden and mondale were great senators, liberal sen

mondale and after walter mondale.e he assumed that position, he conducted a careful study of the vice presidency and came up with recommendations that former president jimmy carter excepted. he was the first to move into the west wing. he had a very substantive rtnership role with president carter. he thought it through from soup to nuts, and every vice president since has had an opportunity to review the memo that walter mondale provided. i certainly did. i've heard joe biden say that when he became vice president, he did the same thing. fritz mondale deserves credit for elevating the vice presidency into a position where he could be far more useful to the president and the country as a whole. how judy: do you see his legacy overall? we aired some excerpts from his speeches. the speech at the convention in 1984 when he spoke about raising taxes, but how do you see the lasting, how he will be seen in history? >> he was a fighter for civil-rights and was known for that. he was an environmentalist. he passed the wild an

jimmy carter and walter modale were men of integrity. they bonded on that. what was school having worked for mondale at the law firm afterwards and back on side of my races, including the presidential race, i got to see how the two of them kept talking through time. they would work on things together. carter came out from a funeral just a few years ago and he traveled to minnesota and spoke at her funeral. their friendship strengthened after they left office. >> michael beschloss, it was my privilege at my first national campaign for nbc to be assigned to walter mondale's vice presidential re-election campaign, and i was spoiled rotten from the beginning because it was so embracing and so much fun. we didn't get on the air much for the vice president, but i was a young reporter and just grateful to be out there on the road with him. i learned so much from watching the way he operated and his wonderful staff. >> and he loved politics and he also had a future in presidential politics. people thought in 1980, so it would have been fascinating. you really were s
