The Living Room Candidate

By Gene Mueller

 

        Who doesn't love politcal t-v spots?

 

        Don't all raise your hands at once.

 

        I'm a history geek (and a self-aware one, at that) and I love old commercials.       That's why I'll spend some idle moments at "The Living Room Candidate"...it's history-as-it-happened, including the famous LBJ "Daisy" commercial from 1964 and others too numerous to mention.      These come from the era when campaigns were responsible for setting the tone, not special interest groups slinging slop while hiding under some bogus name.

 

       And now, you know why I spend my Friday nights alone.
