Answer to Question 1

Answer: Clinton

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how the Daisy ad was designed to define Barry Goldwater as the candidate who might plunge the United States into nuclear war. Essentially, it defined Goldwater as a warmonger, while suggesting that Lyndon B. Johnson was the candidate who could keep the country out of war.
2. Discuss how this is an example of negative advertising and is the first memorable example of an attack ad using television. The answer should indicate that many people believe negative advertising can be effective.
3. Discuss how the Daisy ad is also a case that generated free air time. After the advertisement ran, many news programs discussed it or showed it, generating free air time for Lyndon B. Johnson.
