Clicker, Richard Nixon, 1968
name: label: associated person
content: Nixon, Richard M.
notes: label: Description
content: This metal clicker from Richard Nixon’s 1968 campaign for president was a return to a campaign novelty he had used in his first attempt to win the White House in 1960. The message on the newer version was a straightforward statement of veteran support for the Republican candidate while the earlier clickers typically opted for the more playful “Click with Dick.” Nixon was the incumbent vice president when he lost his first race to his Democratic opponent John F. Kennedy. In 1968, he turned the tables by defeating the sitting vice president Hubert H. Humphrey.
