Talk:Daisy (advertisement)

message: The Johnson administration maintained 15,000 nuclear warheads in the US arsenal - the falsehood of this political ad is apparent.  I have read political science tracts on this, but don't have the references off the top of my head. 50.111.29.1 (talk) 05:58, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  need to discuss insincerity 

message: The last lines of the advertisement quoted in the initial section appears to be a restatement of lines from the poem "September 1st, 1939", which contains the line: "We must love one another, or die."
Written as the poem was in the shadow of WW2, it seems unlikely to be a coincidence. Might be worth linking or mentioning on the phrase. I would, but article is locked. 142.154.162.62 (talk) 20:16, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nearly direct quote of an Auden poem 

message: Please remove
 Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson
and add
 Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
Since the context is his assumption of office, it would help to specify why he (and not someone else) replaced Kennedy. 120.21.4.98 (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

 As of the 2020 presidential election, Johnson has gained the highest share of the popular vote in a presidential election since it first became widespread in the 1824 election. The "Daisy" ad is considered one of the most important factors in Johnson's landslide victory over Goldwater.

The removed text is simply redundant, since "landslide victory" is referenced two sentences earlier, and by this point in the article, everyone knows that Goldwater was his opponent. 120.21.4.98 (talk) 22:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
