The Living Room Candidate

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the candidates-in-the-modern-age dept.

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."

    I don't think "must see" means what you think it means. :)

    Okay... its cool... but "must see"? I don't think so.

  5. "Exclude stories from homepage" not working? by tcopeland · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Or are these stories just not categorized correctly? Shouldn't this be "Politics", not "Internet"?
