That was pretty clever putting a little girl before the bomb. It ties to people's emotions, especially women. Very tricky, Mr. Johnson, very tricky.

Mr. Carlisle,
With all that talk today about causes we would protest for, I thought I would share this video by Gil Scott Heron: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
Warning- for those fragile at heart, it makes some drug references and stuff.

Wow I would have definitely voted for Johnson after that commercial! That little were was too cute too die! I now see how it was controversial though because I'm sure the other candidate would have retaliated.

So I had to watch that without sound because I am TAing and it would have been a distraction... but it was still quite intense. The "emotional" tie the voter has with the little girl and the images of the atomic bomb were very powerful images. Charlotte was right too, it probably had a big impact on the women voters at that time.
