Didn't Mondale lose as VP under Carter in 1980 and then was just edged out (525 - 13)in 1984 as the Presidential candidate?
But he was elected Vice-President in '76, and lost re-election as VP.
But yeah by my wording, you are correct. I probably should've written instead that Dole is the only figure in American history to be nominated for both positions yet never elected to either office.
(We could debate sometime that argument out there that Dole's VP placement, done to please the Reagan conservative faction of the GOP, help cost Ford the '76 election.)
