Kennedy wouldn't have run. There's a good reason he ran in 1980; everyone was pressuring him to run and he pretty well knew that he had no chance at unseating Carter. He's got too much baggage.

With Ford in the White House, and thus continuing detente, I'd say a hawkish Democrat would win in 1980.

Henry Martin Jackson.
