Original – This historical television advertisement is considered a factor in Johnson's landslide victory in the 1964 presidential election over Barry Goldwater and an important turning point in political and advertising history.
Reason
This historic video has enormous encyclopedic value. The ad aired only once, on September 7, 1964. I speculate that few people outside of a poli sci or marketing class have ever seen the full ad. Although it has been imitated repeatedly.

Technical comment: you should really show the thing with the girl (the as on FP picture). There is some setting where the whole video is there and plays from the start, but you show a particular instant. Not sure why that is not the default choice for voting.]]TCO (talk) 00:27, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
