...gent of the "I Want You" World War I recruitment posters - were painted by James Montgomery Flagg, a LIFE Magazine illustrator. Flagg's drawing first appeared on the July 6, 1916 cover of Leslie's Weekly, with the title "What are You Doing for Preparedness?" It became a national ad campaign a year later...
...Helms would be horrified at the idea of his old seat unleashing a Democratic tide across all of Washington, the hard-knuckle campaigner who died last July at the age of 86 might approve of Dole's latest effort to prevent it from happening. In an ad buy across North Carolina, Dole unveiled Wednesday a thirty-second spot that accuses Hagan of accepting money from the "Godless Americans" PAC.

Sununu's campaign has released an ad pointing out that Shaheen initially supported the war in Iraq as well as Bush's tax cuts, and using footage of her repeatedly saying "I'll stand with President Bush" in 2002. It's a long-shot effort from a politician whose rise has been halted by an unpopular president. "If the question is who is closer to Bush," says a top Shaheen strategist, "that's an easy one.
