Ronald Reagan's Morning in America ad was probably one of the key factors in earning him his huge election victory in 1984. Basic theme: long live the conservative revolution!
Eight years later, Bill Clinton ran campaign ads calling for an end to the Reagan Revolution. These ads probably helped Clinton defeat George H.W. Bush (Bush 41), a man who most Democrats thought was unbeatable.
If you had been a voter in 1984 or 1992, would these ads have influenced your vote? Why, or why not? In what way are these ads similar? What's the major difference?
