WI Gerald Ford wins a Second Term

Republicans get blaimed for the economic mess that there would be in 1980. There is a very nasty struggle for the Republican nomination between Reagan and Dole.

Query does Ted Kennedy get the Democrat nomination in 1980 and if not who?
 
Republicans also bear the blame over giving up the Panama Canal.

I predict Kennedy/Glenn vs. Reagan/Dole.

i doubt Dole take being VP again. so G.H.W.B. or John Connally for VP (maybe Jesse Helms, Jack Kemp)

Glenn is a good pick, i'd also think or Jerry Brown, Lloyd Bentsen, Mo Udall, Frank Church, Gary Hart.

(woman and blacks are likely to be pick, though i can't think any one at this time)

Would Ford have been willing to negotiate for the return of the Canal? I'm not too sure of the circumstances surrounding it, but I was under the impression it was seriously opposed by Republicans.
 
Ford and Carter had the same view on the Panama Canal. We can assume the congress would be relatively unchanged as well.

In fact the '76 primary between Ford & Reagan saw the Panama Canal as a major issue—Reagan wanted to keep it, Ford (like Carter) did not.
