Where Willie Horton Meets Daisy

Check out The Living Room Candidate. Even better than the political bumper sticker archive, here you can find presidential campaign commercials from 1952-2004. The funny, the creepy, the lame — they’re all there.

Every time I watch the “Daisy” ad I half-expect to see this
Never saw Floyd Brown’s Willie Horton ad until now. Brown’s only mistake was showing Horton’s face – he should have realized that the ad would be a magnet for fake racism charges.
Too bad they don’t have 2008 commercials. I have never seen an ad as outrageous as this.
Thanks for posting that! I watched all the 1956 ads. I remember election day 1956, but we didn’t have television then, so I’ve never seen those commercials before.
