Presidential Stocking Stuffers

Just returned from a Christmas soiree at my beloved Aunt Cindy's house. She gave me a vintage-style politically themed stocking stuffer/day planner. There are several presidential campaign slogans printed on the back. Thus, here's what past presidents and candidates have said to sway voters:
A time for Greatness-- 1960 John F. Kennedy
Are you Better Off Now Than You Were Four Years Ago?-- 1980 Ronald Reagan
Back to Normalcy-- 1920 Warren G. Harding
Ross For Boss-- 1992 H. Ross Perot
Don't Swap Horses in Midstream-- 1864 Abraham Lincoln
Four More Years of the Full Dinner Pail-- 1900 William McKinley
It's Morning Again in America-- 1984 Ronald Reagan
A Leader, For a Change-- 1976 Jimmy Carter
Government Of, By, and For the People, Not the Monied Interests-- 2000 Ralph Nader
He Kept Us Out of War-- 1916 Woodrow Wilson
I propose a New Deal-- 1932 Franklin D. Roosevelt
In Your Heart, You Know He's Right-- 1964 Barry Goldwater
Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge-- 1924 Calvin Coolidge
A Chicken in Every Pot, A Car in Every Garage-- 1928 Herbert Hoover
Moving America Forward-- 2004 George W. Bush
Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow-- 1992 Bill Clinton
Kinder, Gentler Nation-- 1988 George H.W. Bush
For the Future-- 1960 Richard Nixon
The Stakes Are Too High For You To Stay At Home-- 1964 Lyndon B. Johnson
Peace and Prosperity-- 1956 Dwight Eisenhower
America Needs a Change-- 1984 Walter Mondale
(Apparently, the American voter has always had a tendency to respond to promises of change.)
