Here comes the Walter Mondale show!

The former vice-president is wasting little time stepping into the Democratic presidential campaign void left by US Sen. -Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.

He is - 15 months before the earliest-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire - sending a former vice-presidential aide, Charles Campion, to that state in a few days. Mr. Campion's mission: devote full time to laying the groundwork for a likely campaign in 1984.

Mondale hasn't formally announced his candidacy yet, but he has already visited New Hampshire three times this year.
