Popcorn- The president in your living room

The Museum of the Moving Image has created a website called The Living Room Candidate that pulls together all the televised presidential commercials since 1952.  It’s an amazing trip through political history, and you can clearly see how our political messaging has changed in 60 years.  All the hits are here, from “I Like Ike” in 1952, to the “Daisy Girl” commercial that ran only once, to the dreck we endured in the Obama/McCain fight.  If you don’t want to watch them all (and honestly, who could blame you) then just click the “Curator’s Choice” for the cream of the crop.
