Just as Laura Roslin's swearing-in brings to mind the image of LBJ's swearing-in (on Air Force One at Love Field in Dallas) I think the producers were similarly influenced in how they showed the destruction of the Botanical Cruiser. The sight of Cami innocently staring at flowers in her hands made me think of the little girl picking flower petals in the once-only-broadcast LBJ TV campaign ad against Barry Goldwater in 1964. The campaign ad ended with a nuclear explosion, whereas Cami's demise comes with a blinding fade-out: coincidence? I doubt it. User:cy1980 15:49, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)

I've heard about this in passing. Can you supply us with additional information in the form of web sites? It'd be nice to note this, seeing as other events in the series' run mirror those that have already occured in the US. -- Joe Beaudoin 15:58, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
No sources to cite. Just my speculation. Hell of a campaign commercial. Goldwater's line: "In your heart you know he's right." Johnson's camp: "In your heart you know he (*Goldwater*) might (*push the button*)." User:cy1980 21:58, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I always heard it as "in your guts, you know he's nuts". See Wikipedia:Daisy (television commercial) for commentary and a video. I agree that the scene in the miniseries is probably an allusion to this. --April Arcus 01:51, 9 Aug 2005 (EDT)
