Also remember that television advertising was a brand new medium. They had no past precedent to go by.

Eisenhower's ads were definitely more effective; it helped that he actually appeared in his ads. Sure, they were canned, with him answering the questions from "regular" voters and such, but he connected with voters in a way that Stevenson didn't.

The 1934 California gubernatorial campaign certainly gave a precedent, tho thankfully one neither candidate made use of in 1952.

True, I forgot about the hatchet job on Upton Sinclair.
