Political TV Ads Through the Ages

When TV was young: LBJ's 'Daisy Girl' ad

Bush I's 'Dukakis Tank' ad

The infamous 'Willie Horton' ad
 Just came across the site of the Museum of the Moving Image which has a great online exhibition, The Livingroom Candidate, a walk down memory lane of classic presidential attack advertising, TV commericals from 1952 to 2000. Who can forget classics such as Reagan’s Morning in America, Bush the First’s Willie Horton and Dukakis Tank Ride or the still shocking mother of all attack ads Daisy Girl for LBJ (”we must either love each other or we must die”)?
