Political TV Ad Archive

This thing is absolutely incredible.  It's a reasonably encyclopedic collection of online Presidential political TV advertisements, from 1952 - 2004.

Not only are all the classics here:

  • Eisenhower '52 High Prices
  • Kennedy '60 Religion
  • Johnson '64 Daisy
  • Humphrey '68 Laughter
  • Reagan '84 Morning in America
  • Bush '88 Willie Horton
  • Clinton '92 Journey

But there are also tons of obscure ads from every election.  I especially recommend these interesting ones:

  • Johnson '64 Confessions of a Republican
  • Nixon '68 Vietnam
The internet may be amazing for organizing the base, but TV has always moved the masses. Check out how it's done.
