Carter Campaigns in Minnesota as boos greet Short
President Carter campaigned with Vice President Mondale in Minnesota to back DFL Senate and governor candidates amid strong anti-Short sentiment. Polls showed GOP leads in key races, with Durenberger, Boschwitz, and Perpich gaining ground while Anderson and Short faced tougher fights. Short, a trucking magnate and ex Humphrey ally, battled liberal critics after a divisive primary win.
