Until recently, the most ill fated political campaign in modern times
Jimmy Carter -- President during:
Iranian hostage crisis
Opec Oil Embargo
18% discount rates
No friend of Israel. anti zionist pro Palestinian.
Walter (Fritz ) Mondale -- Vice President 1977-1981
Lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan and Herber Walker Bush in 81.
Then beat his own record running for President himself
teaming up ( and losing ) again
with Geraldine Ferarro in 1984.
The "Reagan Revolution" started a revival of American conservatism
The Iran Hostage Crisis led to the creation of
US Special Forces Command
and today Reagan has a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier named after him.
