"'Sup", says the Tin.

It is a truism in AH that barring rather further back PODs the President (or third term nominee) in the US of A circa 1980 is doomed. Blah! I reject the obvious. I have a potential scenario in mind but it is optimistic to a moderate extent, so I'm curious about what other possibilities pop up. :)

The challenge, to be reasonable about it, is restricted to PODs no further back than Saturday 25 October 1975 resulting in Anybody But Carter (not counting Republicans) being re-elected to the Presidency in 1980. That's more than enough time to drastically influence either side's primary race. Keep in mind that Carter, as per OTL, is the only Democratic candidate who understands the rules of the contest and how to game them, which you can't really change under the given timeframe.

I got excited when I read this as American Born Chinese, but apparently not :(

That is also a good challenge, but alas 1980 is probably too early. Sorry about getting your hopes up, you should post yours though :). (As you theoretically like zeppelins I have some in The Futurist Manifesto if that helps?)
