The chopper, in fact, is symbolic of that war, and memories of 'Nam still echo with the beat of rotor blades...

"Mondale is suffering front-runner blight," says Wisconsin Democratic Chairman Matthew Flynn. "There are very high expectations for him, and when he stumbles a bit the criticism seems to echo."
