The Living Room Candidate

Karin Ponce writes "I represent the American Museum of the Moving Image , and I wanted to write to you about the Museum's latest online exhibition, The Living Room Candidate. The exhibition maintains a comprehensive and detailed collection of over 300 commercials from the past fourteen elections (1954-2000). As the presidential race heats up, I think this is a very timely exhibition that will equip your readers with insight on the development of the campaign messages crafted by our presidential candidates over the years and provide historical context for the 2004 campaign as the race unfolds. Its convenience (all commercials are available online in the Living Room Candidate website) make this exhibit a must-see for voters and non-voters."

Wow, I just went to the site and was perusing the 2004 election commercials. For once they gave a realistic view of our future.

Blank.

Remember to give serious thought to who you are voting for in November and make sure that those around you are at least somewhat educated on what they are voting for.

so far as I can tell, not true of Clinton
Dole race (just a casual googling tells me
this). Where do you get your data from?

In every presidential election covered by television, the candidate with the most campaign money has become President.

Care to back up that assertion? I must have missed Bob Dole's narrow victory in 1996, then...
