Created on
November 18, 2008
1.
Some highlights of the last Nixon Kennedy debate -- the moment that is widely credited with changing political campaigns forever through the power of TV images.
2.
Perhaps the most infamous Presidential campaign ad ever made -- aired only once, it created a great deal of controversy and was, arguably, an influential part of LBJ's landslide victory in 1964.
3.
The '68 Democratic Convention in Chicago became a week of violence when protesters and police clashed.
4.
At the tumultuous 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, Dan Rather is punched in the stomach.
5.
From 1980, one of the most famous lines in a Presidential Debate -- it illustrates how Reagan presented himself as a calm, collected candidate rather than the bumbler the Carter campaign hoped to expose him as.
6.
Walter Mondale quotes a popular Wendy's slogan to rebut Gary Hart in the March 11, 1984 Democratic debate. The original commercial can be seen here: http://www.redux.com/shmeso/y1moiUwUnB
7.
This ad set the tone for the 1984 Reagan/Mondale election, making the phrase "Morning in America" part of the political lexicon.
8.
In the 1988 election Michael Dukakis famously appeared in a photo-opp riding a tank. The image ended up hurting him more than helping him, as this ad illustrates.
9.
In 1988 the Willie Horton meme shaped much of the narrative against Michael Dukakis -- an association he never shook.
10.
11.
12.
Ross Perot tries the "board room meeting" approach to convincing America to make him the President.
13.
Bill Clinton, trailing in the polls, went on Arsenio Hall and played Saxaphone on national TV -- some say it was the turning point in his election.
14.
The "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" put out a series of ads attacking John Kerry's patriotism in 2004 -- the term "Swift Boat" has now become synonymous with undermining a candidates strength through deceptive means.
15.
Howard Dean's campaign is undone by 2-second audio clip that was played ad nauseum in the media.
