[Childist2]

Mad Men

[LarryBrown1958]

[PatriotInChief]

I used to be a Democrat. Unless the DNC returns to the principles of President Kennedy, I will vote Republican.

[dennyolver2]

sounds like mike douglas

[sEaNoYeAh]

This is really trippy.

Is Sinatra singing on this or was that a different event? 

[bensonstorm]

I've just posted a vid of a cellulite cream on my page.

The vid is very catchy! I defy anyone not to have the melody stuck in their head after hearing it...

[jfkpublicservant]

This is such a beautiful ad.

I wish politicians today still used these jingles.

[taytaystrk]

Thats cute...but i like the ike one better.

[jfkpublicservant]

@taytaystrk That's because everyone likes Ike!

[StoopKidsAfraid]

kennedy! To bad his term was cut short.

[AnimeMangaLove]

the good ol' days

[TimelordR]

That was John F. Kenendy & he approves that message!

[RuflessRecords]

Wow, imagine a time when the Democrats were still straight laced! (not JFK behind closed doors of course) but still, Democrats pre-hippy trash were so different. Too bad they couldn't have just improved on their horrible record on blacks and skipped the counterculture filth.

[Leterren]

Why can't Obama/McCain do more stuff like this? Nooooo they just gotta be stupid about their dumb stuffyness and they're not laid back enough! If I could vote in November, I wouldn't.

[glory789]

Imagine if a candidate ran an ad like this today? Too bad politics cant go back to the good old days when dirty attacks weren't common and things seemed more innocent.

[rkull12]

Wow, dirty attacks have been commonplace in American politics ever since John Adams was elected.

[jeepersfreepers]

Study history more. Scandals and mud slinging have been going on since the founding of this country.

[sondano]

Jesus, this is stupid. Designed for stupid Americans.

[JoseAnd911World]

Vote For A Voice That Sounds More Like YOURS! VOTE DEMOCRAT!

[ohpuhleeze]

OMG! I was only 5 years old when this commercial was running, but I REMEMBER the jingle (I don't remember the video portion, though). It's amazing how commercial jingles get seared into your soul!

[LittleKittyRocky]

This is funny! =) And so catchy

[michelletanner92]

I drove my friend nuts during lunch by singing this song!

[MissNormie]

I would vote for any man with a ad like this!!! do any of our candidates have catchy-enough names for their own theme song? not really...

[mikelandonsgirl]

LOL! I like the song and what a cool ad!

[York22]

They certainly don't make ads like this anymore. Far more effective than anything today.

[gah5ma]

There's a big difference between infantile/retarded and lacking cyniscism.

[jacknitz]

LOL! ikeusa you can't be serious. All political ads target certain groups, religions, creeds, etc. That's the game and all politicians are corrupt and beholden to a extent once elected. Remember the old saying, "One hand washes the other and both hands wash the face".

[ikeusa]

I love this advertisment. I have wondered also if the ad contains subtle targeting toward specific voting populations: working class, african americans, and the elderly. These must have been deliberate choices for this commercial. It is always fun to analyze these things.
