They have campaign ads going all the way back to 1952 for both sides. It's amazing how little things have changed.

The classic Willie Horton ad. I get a kick out of how matter-of-fact the announcer is when he talks about a stabbing and a rape.

They've changed the site's format and presentation, it used to show you the electoral map from every election as well.
