Is this the famous "daisy" ad?

[democrattotheend]

The 60's were well before my time, but I remember learning in my history class about a "Daisy" ad that Johnson ran that showed a nuclear bomb going off if Goldwater was elected. Is this the famous ad?

1. Yes that is it.

[Adsos Letter]

2. Only aired one time.

That's the one. Iconic.

4. And we're still talking about it 52 years later. nt

7. Technically no. The campaign ran it only once.

But it was aired by the media as a news item in part or in its entirety several times as well

3. That's it. It needs to be dusted off and run again, I think.

5. That's what I am working on

I am going to splice it up and put in Trump's "why can't we use nuclear weapons?" quote.

6. You bet it is. I remember it well.

[ohheckyeah]

8. Hard to forget it.

9. Yes.

10. In 2012 Newsweek interviewed the girl- now in her 50s, obviously- from the ad.
