AHC: Get Jimmy Carter reelected

Is it possible to get Jimmy Carter elected again without going too far off the board? What implications would it have on the 1984 election and beyond?
 
He picks someone other than Paul Volcker as Fed Chair and/or Volcker pursues different monetary policies. While Volcker's policies did allow the economy to recover and grow in the long term, the negative effect it had on the American economy in the short term all but doomed Carter.

I think that would have to be the POD. The attempt to free the hostages would also have to succeed for him to have any chance.
 
Is it plausible to have Carter NOT give the Shah refuge in America?

The hostage crisis initially gave Carter a bump in the polls and boosted him. Without it Kennedy would have done better in the primaries and may have won.

No Iranian Revolution would mean the economy is better and he wins by a margin similar to Obama 2012.
