Best Answer

In the Election of 1984, third-term Congresswoman Geraldine A. Ferraro (D-NY), became the first woman ever to run on a major party's national ticket when she was selected by Walter F. Mondale as his Vice Presidential running mate for the Democratic Party. They were defeated in the general election and won only 13 electoral votes, but political observers at the time did not think that Ferraro's presence had an impact, one way or the other, on the vote.
