Ad for Richard Nixon in the 1968 Presidential Campaign: “How can a party that can’t unite itself unite the nation? How can a party that can’t keep order in its own backyard hope to keep order in our 50 states? How can a party that labels the results of its programs the ‘Great Society’ ever find any real solutions? How can a party that lets the country get bogged down in an endless war against a fourth rate military power promise anything but decades of conflict? How, in the light of all this, can the American people fail to see that the United States urgently needs new leadership? By now it’s clear. The American people do see the need.”
