Ronald Reagan endorsing Truman, 1948
Nixon on Corruption, 1952
Kennedy and Stevenson, 1956
McCain should have learned from Stevenson; America doesn't like it when you stand up and walk around for no particular reason.
1960 Kennedy
I'm a sucker for a catchy jingle. But I also like that the running theme in Nixon's 1960 ads is awkwardly leaning/sitting on a desk.
1964 LBJ ad: KKK
You know who else likes Barry Goldwater?
Convention, Nixon, 1968
Welcome to my nightmares.
Nixon Now, 1972
Ford, 1975
Carter, 1980
California to Reagan: drop dead.
Reagan, 1984
I think I like this ad because I like grocery stores and commercials from the '80s set in grocery stores.
Dukakis, 1988
Again, the awkward resting against furniture pose, especially awkward since the TV blends so well into the background. I can't watch this without singing "I'm a little teapot, short and stout."
Bush, 2004
One of Bush's lesser crimes: forcing me to watch 30 seconds of the Olympics.
Obama, 2008
Good times, good times.
McCain, 2013
Well, I know who gets my vote in 2012.

Ha!
These were enjoyable and strange. Thanks.
Eh, maybe not enjoyable, so much as riveting.
(Nixon was really trying to go after the youth vote in that 72 ad. Even had non-threatening generic sort of counterculture allusions. )
