Musical Monday: Old Campaign Songs
Campaigns seemed to be a lot nicer way back when. At least the ads were better. Here is a cute little ad for Eisenhower from 1952. Don't you wish political ads were still like this?

That was fantastic. Great timing too! I don't remember either one, but I think it's good to have a little levity like that during all this smut being tossed back and forth. I must say this is one nasty race going on. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your time off and I hope your time on goes by quickly for the next break!!! A friend of mine just retired from being a teacher and she says she's going to travel a bit and then go back to being a .... oh darn what do they call them... oh yes, she's going back to be a substitute teacher... go figure... lol Have a great day!
Oh, Joyce, this is SO cute! And it goes perfectly with my Nostalgic Sunday post I just did! Have a great week!
So when did it all go so far downhill?
Even without the jingle, i would love to hear ads that simply talk about the good a candidate will do, not just ad hominem arguments against opponents.
What great tunes. I enjoyed both. This is when politics had some class.
Would that we had candidates like Eisenhower and Kennedy and commercials like these...
The good news is that the circus will soon be over.
