If you wish to check out the development of US presidential campaign TV ads since they were first used in 1952, we now have a quick reference point to visit.

The Living Room Candidate features these TV ads by year, then by party and then in chronological order when they were beamed to TV across the US.

The site also classifies the ads through other categorizations: by issue (civil rights, atxes, corruption, etc) and by type of commercial (biographical, fear, children, etc.).

The Living Room Candidate also has online resources for students and proposed lesson plans for teachers.

I wonder which Philippine foundation will try to put up something similar to this that will feature political ads used by Filipino politicians. That would be a good project.
