OK, lets be fair about this.  While I agree with the rest of the article it 
seems to me that Iran released the hostages not to Ronnie, but to someone
who was NOT Jimmy Carter.  I had the distinct impression that if it hadn't
been an election year, or if Carter had been re-elected, they would have
been released a month or 2 sooner.   Iran wasn't afraid of Reagan, they
wanted to make Carter look bad.  I think most people recognized this for
what it was and instead of thinking less of Carter over this they thought
less of the ayatollah (I know, it's spelled wrong, but it's not in my spelling
guide).
