There is a website out called the "LivingRoomCandidate" which shows every Presidential campaign commercial by each of the parties that has been made since 1962 and it is very interesting seeing all the different commercials and the way they try to get there points across from the time video first appeared to now when technology is more advanced than many people know what to do with which causes very interesting thoughts on the possibilities of what is to come with presidential elections. This year was actually the very first time both political campaign parties used the web for their campaign and invested so much into it. On one of the campaign commercials, the Kennedy and Nixon campaigns in 1962 there is a very interesting commercial of Kennedy where it doesn't show much of anything except his name and the word "greatness" with pictures of former President Kennedy which is an interesting way to get ones name out there to make it more familiar.
The picture basically explains it and how Kennedy's idea was to get his name and face out there to show everyone him. The web site is very interesting and I encourage all to go view it and see for themselves the uniqueness of all the commercials and maybe find one for themselves. If anyone is interested then the URL to the website is below so go and view.
