President Jimmy Carter has passed away

He had Kennedy trying to steal the convention and Jon Anderson running as an independent. But the hostages sunk his reelection.

To paraphrase Cicero: were it not for the fact he had been president, Carter was the kind of man that everyone would say he would make an excellent president.

RIP Mr Carter

Hostage situation that Reagan's campaign pushed to extend.

Close representatives beg to differ, despite Congressional inquiries (which are by definition politically driven) not finding sufficient evidence. Several credible people either involved or in positions of know stand by the allegation.

> Nevertheless, several individuals—most notably, former Iranian President Abulhassan Banisadr, former Lieutenant Governor of Texas Ben Barnes, former naval intelligence officer and U.S. National Security Council member Gary Sick, and Barbara Honegger, a former campaign staffer and White House analyst for Reagan and his successor, George H. W. Bush—have stood by the allegation.
