Bart Maverick Gets My Vote! :)

Hello!

Since today is Election Day in the U.S., a look at Jack Kelly's Maverick episode "The People's Friend" is in order. Below are some vintage newspaper ads which publicized the episode when it originally aired in 1960. Enjoy! :) 



"FAVORITE SON? MAVERICK - Pappy's boy Bart gets nominated for state senator--as a reform candidate. Poker, romance and other pleasures appear taboo--but trouble's a running mate on the ticket!"

 

"Give up poker for politics? It seems next to impossible, but see the reformed Bart Maverick in a campaign story rich in comedy and cutthroats."

The Winning Ticket :)

 

Bart and Beau
Would be a winning ticket

On this Election Day--

'Tis pity they're not running this year.

Thankfully we're all still free

And can vote with head and heart,

But, frankly, my dears,

With the choices we've been given

I'd rather vote for Beau and Bart. :)

 

But, seriously, folks--whether your state is red or blue, whether your candidate is Republican or Democrat (or from another party), please vote. We may not like everyone or everything on the ballot, but we as Americans still have the freedom to voice our choice and that's what really counts.
