As the campaigns begin their endless inundation of campaign commercials of the airwaves, we are once again drawn to the Museum of the Moving Image’s wonderful collection of campaign commercials of the past. The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2004 is a collection of more than 250 commercials dating back to 1952. The also includes features commentary, historical background, and election results. Campaign ads from the current election year are also included. There are also resources for teachers to incorporate the history of campaign ads into their lesson plans. Visit http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/ and make a donation if you can.
