What a stinky commercial. If that crud influenced a thousand voters, it probably pushed them to Ike! Which is too bad, because Ike's running mate was Dick.

@jazzpot8o The great irony, of course, is that Eisenhower was a pretty sharp dude himself, to the point where you can make a good case that he was more intelligent than Stevenson. And I'm saying this from a center-left perspective.

Well, it's better than the Old McDonald's one.

Don Draper during a booze-and-sex-filled lost weekend could have created a better ad.

During that 1st campaign, a woman reputedly said to Stevenson "I'm going to vote for you... and so will every thinking person in this country."
Stevenson replied "I'm going to need a lot more votes than that."

For everyone saying this ad is corny, its not as if Eisenhower's ads were as sophisticated as today's ads. In 1952, TV was still fairly new and commercials in general were definitely not as sophisticated. They usually just had a jingle or just had some pitch person give a straight pitch.

He was too intellectual for America then and still would be.

Adlai Stevenson knew he had no chance against general Ike Eisenhower. The democratic president H.S. Truman was very unpopular at that time and so was his administration.
