Marc Aminder remarks that the latest Clinton ad is reminiscent of two historical political ads: LBJ’s “Daisy” and Mondale’s “Red Phone”. I would add one more to the list. The political ad that immediately sprang to my mind when I saw Clinton’s ad was Reagan’s “Bear in the Woods” ad.
I am so tired of the fear-mongering rhetoric that’s been hurled at us from the Republicans for the last 8 years… it’s disappointing to see it from a democrat now, too.
By the way, I highly recommend Living Room Candidate for those who love watching the evolution of political advertising unfold
update: Fixed the links to the “Bear” and “Daisy” ads…
