==Presidential Campaign==

Kennedy was frequently mentioned as a possible ~~Democratic~~ presidential candidate in 1972 and 1976. However, he chose not to run due to his controversial past and claimed to have family concerns after his two brothers were assassinated. But in 1980 he decided to challenge incumbent President [[Jimmy Carter]] for the ~~Democratic~~ nomination. Though Carter was unpopular, Kennedy failed in his effort to supplant him as the party's nominee.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080517080451/http://www.politicalbase.com/people/ted-kennedy/2888/ Ted Kennedy]</ref>
