LOTW: The Living Room Candidate
This Link Of The Week (LOTW) is about vintage and recent U.S. presidential campaigns.
Photo: The American Museum of the Moving Image shows presidential commercials from 1952-2004.
At livingroomcandidate.movingimage.us vintage commercials are shown, ranging from Dwight D. Eisenhower's pioneering TV ads of 1952 right up to this year's Swift Boat slugfest. They can be located by year and political party (including third-party candidates such as George Wallace and Ross Perot), type of commercial (biographical, fear-based, using children), issues (taxes, war, welfare); even ads in which a candidate's statements backfire.
A section called The Desktop Candidate showcases emergent Internet ads with more than a dozen 2004 spots (including some no longer posted by their creators). It also covers candidates' Web sites from 1996 onward and the TV 'shadow campaigns' of partisan groups. [Source: Newsday]
