Evolution Of Political Parties Campaign

Movie advertising was a manipulative tactic of popular culture that was very insulting to the persons being targeted and/or the persons who are being marketed. An anti communism advertisement was about a movie that a woman married a communist, “I Married a Communist”, and was later required to change its name because people were offended by the title. “Walk East on Beacon” was a movie about the FBI participating in an experiment in which seemed to be going against their oath. The advertisements stated “Our country is in danger! The FBI needs your help in its fight to guard our freedom” (pg. 234) , this was a direct insult towards the FBI because it made them seem like they were not sufficiently doing their job. Not only were advertisements being used as leverage, comic strips were as well. Walt Kelly, a popular comic writer, referred to political figures and made fun of them calling them the “bird watchers in the very first clip. Kelly’s motive here seems to be that political parties are neither preventing or helping the political issues at

The argument that Reagan should serve his second term as president is effective because logos, ethos, and pathos, are each used efficiently in the commercial. Logos, ethos, and pathos helped in explaining Reagan's successes in first presidency which were reflected throughout the commercial. The argument caused the audience to wipe out the consideration of voting for another president because of all the positive outcomes in his first presidency. This commercial is famous and was seen by countless amounts of Americans, but it was not the deciding factor for the election. The reputation Reagan had from his first presidency and attacking his opponent, Walter Mondale, for being a "free-spending Democrat" gave Reagan the advantage in the election. Reagan ended up winning with 49 states, 58.8% of the popular vote, and 525 electoral votes (Tuesday Team,

The purpose or intended goal of incorporating negative television advertisements can be speculative, but a strong argument can be made for their use to improve or at least deflect attention from an incumbent president’s low approval ratings. As LoGiurato indicates, “Typically, Gallup has found, incumbent presidents with 50 percent approval ratings or above are easily re-elected for a second term” (LoGiurato, 2012). But according to a Gallup Poll of 1,001 registered voters, Bill Clinton held an approval rating of 56 percent while incumbent President Bush held an approval rating of 37 percent (New York Times, 1992). Low and declining approval ratings due to President Bush’s broken promise of ‘no new taxes’ made at the 1988 Republican National Convention appear to have limited his options in terms of campaign strategy. This challenge provided a

In the Kennedy jingle advertisement that promoted JFK to be the next President of the United States, there were many persuasive and propaganda techniques used. Some of the techniques and tools include: logos, ethos, pathos, and propaganda tactics.

During the election between Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry Goldwater, there was tension due to the Cold War. Goldwater supported the use of nuclear weapons while others did not agree. Johnson used some of Goldwater’s statements against him to persuade the voters that his intentions for this country were menacing. The advertisement illustrated how the United States would look promoting nuclear weapons, if his opponent was president. This became a focused attack towards Goldwater. Audiences possibly viewed him as a threat and panicked that it would result to violence and more wars. This clip can possibly be the reason why Johnson won the election, seeing that he gave misleading information on his fellow candidate. The advertisement was quick and

The presidential nominee for the Republican Party was Eisenhower, while for the Democrats, it was Adlai Stevenson. Eisenhower’s ads focused on Eisenhower as the general who lead American troops to victory in D-Day and VE-Day during World War II. Stevenson’s messages focused on civil liberty and equality for all Americans regardless of race, class or any other demographic. An advertisement for Stevenson featuring a female singer singing a song that portrayed Stevenson as the governor who is loved by everyone. The trend for Eisenhower’s commercials campaign was to portray him as a plain-speaking man who is in touch with the American people. His ads focused mainly on three issues that most Americans had questions about, the Korean War, corruption in government, and the high cost of living. Stevenson was no match for the most liked American at the time according to a poll.

The Nixon Decisions Commercial uses images as a form of media to impact the decisions of the viewers vote in the 1968 elections. Richard Nixon is known to be independent, strong, intelligent and successful. Individuals already respect and look up to Nixon due to his position as Vice President. The images presented in the advertisement juxtapose to make Nixon seem to be the most eligible

Eisenhower would later produce the first TV ad, along with the start of raising billions in funding for presidential campaign commercials (Beschloss, 2015). Eisenhower advisers discovered that a campaign ad during the presidential race could change the perception of his personality and appearance among voters. Once Eisenhower became the Republican nominee he sought out to change the perception of how voters see him as a politician. In September 1952, Eisenhower delivered his first televised segment at Transfilm studios called “Eisenhower Answers America,” which targeted voters in key battleground states.

From the late twentieth century to the early twenty first century, campaign advertisements mainly concentrated on the promotion of a presidential candidate by making him seem more personable. A recurring tactic throughout numerous advertisements is the appeal to specific demographics or to American patriotism. In his campaign for the 1960 presidential election, John F. Kennedy’s campaign team created a commercial specifically geared towards the African American voters in the country. In this ad, Kennedy directly addresses the civil rights conflicts that were occurring at that time period. By expressing his support for the civil rights movement while sitting next to Harry Belafonte, a prominent African

Presidential campaign ads is a neccesity in american politics today. Going back to 1960 when President Kennedy's campaign ad was released, it was his unique character  and musical insertion to the advertisment that led his campaign to such success. The Kennedy campaign advertisement emphasized on the repitition of the name "Kennedy". Understandably, the name Kennedy hit the spotlight and the voters could only recognize one name. Although the 1960 advertisment brought success to Kennedy, they are considered extensively dull relative to campaign advertisments nowadays. How did these campaign advertisments evolve by 2010?

John Adams, an American trailblazer, once said, “There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” Political parties have immensely evolved since the late 1700’s. From Federalists versus Anti-Federalists, Federalists versus Democratic-Republican, and the most notorious pair, Democrats versus Republicans. These parties have been through a multitude of changes, but are they more detrimental than beneficial?

Political parties in the United States are defined as groups of people who band together with the same ideas about the way the government should act on behalf of the citizens and choose a candidate to elect for an office. The political parties work to uphold the Constitution, introduce new laws, inform the public, and influence government policies. From the beginning of the first presidency with George Washington in 1789, the evolution of the political parties has shaped the nation into a democratic government where every citizen has an equal opportunity to influence it. (Geer, Schiller, Segal, & Herrera, 2016) (Alchin, 2015) (Independence Hall Association in Philadelphia, 2008-2016)

In the media-savvy world of politics today, crafting and shaping a candidate's "brand" has become a serious and costly enterprise. Modern candidates will spend vast sums on consultants and focus group studies intended to maximize their likability and accessibility, to shape public opinion about them, and most obviously, to get a vote. Aside from flat-out conversion of your opponents' views, the best options a candidate has these days is to try to reinforce existing attitudes or crystallize vaguely held attitudes. A smart TV campaign is a great help in doing this.

Including the media outlets and how far technology has come along. For one whenever a potential campaign takes place now a televised debate can be broadcasted on a local station easily obtained by basic cable. Secondly with the different type of smart phones available social media plays a major roll on interaction with the people. With phones being able to essentially hold access to everything through social media it’s a key way candidates have reformed their campaigns to cross over into those waters

The screen blacks out and suddenly a nuclear explosion goes off with a deafening boom. This is the climax of the 1964 advertisement asking citizens to vote for Lyndon B. Johnson. Notably, the promotion aired only once, yet made a lasting impression on the parents of the time period. It is important to remember, the election took place seventeen years into the Cold War and only two years after the Cuban missile crisis. The threat of nuclear war already loomed over citizen’s heads and the fear of their children’s safety enclosed them. President Johnson’s campaign took advantage of the predicament and won the election in a landslide. The controversial television advertisement, “Daisy Girl,” of Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidential campaign uses
