McGovern and Nixon 1972 Campaign Ads

A couple of commercials from the 1972 Nixon vs. McGovern campaign.  Please take a look at both.  Which do you think is more effective? Why?

  1. I have looked at a few other campaign commercials with my high school government class. We talked about how candidates target each other, and some specific ads. I found these two ads to be very aggressive in going after their opponent. I am honestly not sure which commercial would be more effective, because one points out military cuts, which some people are very passionate against, and the other points out problems Nixon made while in office. Some people get very passionate against presidents if they do things the citizen doesn't like also. I think it really depends on the person viewing it.
