I wouldn't have put it past LBJ. It might have been made but never aired. The Daisy Ad was aired only once, IIRC. <br /><br />Here is one argument against the ad- or at least against airing it. LBJ had Lady Bird do a whistle stop tour of the South in defense of the Civil Rights Bill. That was one gutsy lady. I doubt that he would court the South with his wife's tour, and simultaneously stick his thumb in the South's eye.<br /><br />Lady Bird is near the top of my list. When my brother was in elementary school, a classmate of his wrote Lady Bird regarding her beautification campaign. She took the time to call my brother's classmate at the school. Thank you, Lady Bird.Gringonoreply@blogger.com
