I had disagreements with Carter, but most of what brought him down was the same kind of crap that the media fabricated against Al Gore. Not to mention the soap opera of the Iran hostage day counts - oh, yeah, that helped Pres. Carter be able to negotiate a settlement. NOT. Ted Kennedy would never have been elected president, and he knows it. The reason is one word - Chappaquiddick. Hell, I would've had to hold to hold my nose to vote for him had he gotten the nom in 1980, and I hated Ronald Reagan since I followed his career when he was governor of California and I was a politically precocious grade schooler. The thing I remember most about Chappaquiddick is that after Kennedy abandoned his self-described hours of heroic efforts to rescue Kopeckne from the car, he went home and stalled three hours waiting for a call back from his lawyer before notifying the police. As in, "It's more important to save my ass than do my legal and humane duty and report the accident ASAP." No doubt gave him time to sober up, too, a la Cheney and his lawyer hunt. I don’t think Ted Kennedy ever forgave Bill Clinton for winning the Dem nomination and the presidency when he himself struck out in 1980, when he opposed his own party’s sitting president and helped usher in the Reagan era.
