Richard Nixon/Henry Cabot Lodge campaign ad. This was one of our more interesting elections in history. John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson won with four fewer states and only carried 0.2% more of the popular vote. Had Harry Byrd and Strom Thurmond not run on an independent ticket, Nixon may have carried the popular vote, would have had six more states than Kennedy, and still would have lost by 77 electoral votes.

  • @calimar28 Even though I don't approve of Nixon its kind of sad to think that people can be so easily led in their voting habits by a flashy campaign which does not really give them information on the candidate: "Old enough to know, and young enough to do" do what exactly?

  • Yeah this ran opposite the "Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy Kenn-e-dy" commercial.

    No wonder Kennedy won.

  • Don Draper was right.....crap advert

  • @SunsetGroove Shut up; look at the two most recent presidents: both disasters. Watergate was one thing you idiot. He was one of the best presidents we've ever had, especially better than that idiot peanut-farmer Jimmy Carter

  • @drunk3director 15K now...apparently people liked it, for good reason/

    one from mexico (Me)

    maybe no one saw it at first cuz they were too damn busy watching some chick singing stupid songs or justin bieber dancing like a chimpanzee.

  • Its all about the commie Jews.......

  • sad he was so paranoid, if he wasn't he would be considered one of the best presidents.

  • He was a profoundly deep thinker/intellectual and he was a formidable statesman. But he was also a bit paranoid of his political enemies and too loyal to his subordinates for his own good. Watergate, which he had no real guilt over -- but which he probably tried to cover up -- weakened the Presidency, probably in a bad way.

  • He was the best President ever. He was a better President than Clinton.
