Birch Bayh is the sort of 'establishment liberal' that I can see taking the vote in 1980. Additionally, although he is up for re-election in 1980, he had a close call with one Mr. Lugar in 1974 and may realize that he may be a bit out of touch with Indiana's electorate so he may have to get promoted or perish.

Say what you will about his administration and re-election campaign, but his initial POTUS election was a war machine. That isn't to say Chappaquiddick can't be turned into an issue by a well-ran smear (1) campaign, but it's automatic effects on his chances on a national ticket are over-estimated.
say shortly before the 1980 primaries something unpleasant happens to Ronald Reagan and he dies, who wins the nomination and do they take the presidency. alright here are the players: George H. W. Bush: a strong/smart campaigner, on the down side he doesn't resinate with souther...
