If Ted Kennedy unseated President Carter in the primary, how would the general election play out?

Carter's ousting makes Kennedy look like an extremist.


501: Ronald Reagan/Millicent Fenwick* - 59.2%
37: Ted Kennedy/Scoop Jackson - 37.0%
John Rarick/Alfred "Red" W. Bethea - 3.5%
Others - 0.3%

*Selected in order to convince Anderson not to run a third party bid

He didn't run as third-party, he won as a write-in in his home-state.

Ted Kennedy would have lost to Reagan by a significant margin.



✓ Former Governor Ronald Reagan (R-CA)/Former CIA Director George Bush (R-TX): 441 EVs.; 51.2%
Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA)/Former Governor Reubin Askew (D-FL): 97 EVs.; 44.5%

Carter ends up running under the American Independent Party because I say so.


Ronald Reagan - 404
Ted Kennedy - 107
Jimmy Carter - 27

This plus Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Georgia to Kennedy

In that case, I think a Jimmy Carter/Reubin Askew ticket would be more realistic: two New South Governors.
