The Living Room Candidate:
Ever since television became a tool for mass communication, advertising has
been a huge part of our American identity. Thus, political campaign
commercials have been a big part of our lives as well. This site contains
commercials from as early as Eisenhower versus Stevenson in 1952 to the most
recent Presidential election, Bush versus Kerry, in 2004.
