Assume that Chappaquiddick never happened, and that lightning strikes twice for the Kennedy clan, allowing Ted Kennedy to run for President in 1976 (I don't think any Democrat could have beaten Nixon in '72).
Does he stand a chance against Ford-or, if he loses the nomination, have a better chance of beating the unpopular Carter for the nomination in 1980?
