Walter Mondale lost to Ronald Reagan by a landslide.
The Arab Spring was a loosely related group of protests that ultimately resulted in regime changes in countries such as Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Not all of the movements, however, could be deemed successful—at least if the end goal was increased democracy and cultural freedom. In fact, for many countries enveloped by the revolts of the Arab Spring, the period since has been hallmarked by increased instability and oppression. Given the significant impact of the Arab Spring throughout northern Africa and the Middle East, it’s easy to forget the series of large-scale political and social movements arguably began with a single act of defiance.
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 when Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest the arbitrary seizing of his vegetable stand by police over failure to obtain a permit. Bouazizi’s sacrificial act served as a catalyst for the so-called Jasmine Revolution in Tunisia. The street protests that ensued in Tunis, the country’s capital, eventually prompted authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to abdicate his position and flee to Saudi Arabia. He had ruled the country with an iron fist for more than 20 years.

Massachusetts is known as the "cradle of the American Industrial Revolution"
<span>This above passage describes random sampling. Because the researchers pick six random states, then ten random zip codes (for a total of 60 zip codes), then 50 people from each zip code (for a total of 50*60 people), the process is completely random.
Although, I would probably make an alteration to include 3 states that favor one party, 3 states that favor another party, and 3 swing states for a survey like this (with everything still being random).</span>
