  • The Democrats made at least one other "Ike/Bob" ad during the 1952 campaign.

  • It seems the practice of nominating popular figureheads to get the Republicans in office goes back a long way.

  • Also the fact that Taft was dead for 3 years in 1956....

  • John Sparkman was his running mate in 1952. "Let's vote for Adlai... and John!" gives away that this was from the '52 campaign.

  • hahahhahahaha 

  • @GusF For those of us who are used to seeing political ads that amount to mudslinging, they are lame.

  • Is that Mel Blanc doing the voice? I hear a little bit of Marvin the Martian, the Tasmanian Devil, and Porky Pig

  • As per Suprkit, it's got to be from the '52 campaign. The whole Ike/Bob thing is an allusion to Freberg's 'John & Marsha' from '51 (even Bugs Bunny quoted it) so it'd have been topical.

  • All of these Adlai Stevenson ads are awful they really are. They don't even show his face. It's ridiculous.

  • This is from 1952. "Bob", meaning Robert Taft, passed away in 1953 so this couldn't have been from the '56 campaign. Very funny ad though!
