Welcome to Third Party Week! From time to time this election year, we're going to do some special series that highlight the rhythm of an election cycle.

Today: The 1980 election is remembered for Jimmy Carter's "malaise" and the fresh face of Ronald Reagan reviving the Republican party. But there was a third party candidate, John Anderson, trying to provide a sensible, middle-path, alternative to what he saw as Carter and Reagan's extremism.
