ARGO Assignment

"Argo [expletive] yourself!"

Now that you have seen the movie Argo and studied the "Canadian Caper," reflect on its meaning for the 1980 presidential election.  President Carter refused to go public with the Argo operation because of the threat it would pose to the remaining American hostages inside Iran.  If he had gone public with the operation, would that have allowed him to win the 1980 presidential election?

Your answer should account for the other foreign and domestic issues Carter had to deal with during his presidency.
