To be honest, I still think Reagan wins if Carter gets the hostages released at anytime throughout the campaign. The high inflation and unemployment rates should have doomed Carter, even without a hostage crisis. Maybe Carter would have pulled off a narrow win if the hostages were released right before the election and if Reagan did not ask people if they were better off than they were four years ago. I think that quote swung a lot of late deciders to Reagan.
