The Fordzie
posed by gyma
There's a recently published book available of presidential campaign posters, including 100 of them that are ready to frame.
I was taken by this one of Gerald Ford as the Fordzie:
The print below FORDZIE says, "Happy Days Are Here Again". Keep in mind that Ford was 63 years old when this poster was used, so I'm thinking it was a bit of a stretch. And how about old Jerry stealing FDR's song to convince us of a more innocent time?

This reminds me that recently I read (here?) that someone in the Republican Party was saying Mitt Romney might appeal to younger voters, because he is a younger, more dynamic candidate (I suppose compared to John McCain or Bob Dole).
At age 65.

Well, when your Party's target demographic is 80 and older...
