Requests are going out from MoveOn to back their Republican switchers ad campaign. There was an interesting New Yorker article a few issues ago re Errol Morris working on it, and the American Museum of the Moving Image was cited. They have political ads back to 1952 archived, and it's well worth checking out, particularly the Johnson-Goldwater campaign, with ads featuring daisy petal-picking children, nuclear explosions and Johnson's affirmation of *social* security against a privatized version. (The Republican switcher ad of that era ran 4:13.) Randy
