after carter apparently clinched the democrat nomination in 1980, his challenger, ted kennedy, repeatedly called for an open convention to decide the nominee.
several other potential candidates, including scoop jackson and hugh carey, announced their availability in the event of an open or deadlocked convention.
discuss what would have happened. would carter have been re-nominated anyway? would kennedy have snatched the nomination? or would the convention turn to someone else?
