Here are all of them:

From Ike to Shrub, I believe they're all there.
If you have some time on your hands on a lazy Sunday, this is a great site.
Clck on "related commercials" below the movie window to unlock hundreds more.


on edit:
(I appologize for the apparent thread hi-jacking, but the "Livingroom Candidate" is a veritable and little known museum of poltical commercials and worth the visit)

4. Wow, Now that was refreshing! Bring back those days....He didn't

run one candidate down. Bring back the 60's.

Why don't the democrats be the FIRST to come out with only positive ads, no matter what the others do. I know all my family and friends were sick to death of the negative ads.

I would think it would make people switch parties to see some ads that promote the candidate...ah well, I can dream!

5. Kennedy did say negative things about the Ike administration,

accusing it of falling behind the Soviets. the missile gap.

Wasn't true.
