I think that this article needs a lot of work. The Daisy Ad is the single most important piece of advertising ever, and one of the most significant things (in terms of impact on the world) ever broadcast on television. Yet we don't even have an image from the ad. There should be much longer segments contextualizing the creation of the ad and how it shaped American politics and advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.221.152 ( talk) 02:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Commercial-LBJ1964ElectionAdDaisyGirl.ogv will be appearing as picture of the day on September 7, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-09-07. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 11:05, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
This article should be renamed using "advertisement", not "commercial". A commercial involves commerce; an advertisement can be for a non-commercial purpose. Please let us use proper wording. Alfred Legrand 20:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Who was 'Daisy' and what became of her? Adambisset 19:49, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
The phrasing of the MoveOn.org ad/commercial leaves me uncertain if it was ever completed or ever aired. Can someone clarify?-- Thatnewguy 01:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I stumbled across the article Fear Mongering. I don't know enough about the ad described, or this one, to make any judgments on what should be done with the article. What do you recommend? -- hello, gadr e n 02:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
One of Goldwater's slogans was "In your heart you know he's right", and in reply an anti-Goldwater slogan was "In your heart you know he might" (i.e. might press the button). AnonMoos 16:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Tom Tancredo's recent ad uses a similar theme: a hooded terrorist enters a mall with a backpack and abandons it near a group of playing children. He leaves and the pack, which conceals a bomb, detonates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.9.50.19 ( talk) 03:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

To any interested editors who want to update the article, there is an in-depth article on the website of the newspaper The Arizona Republic (Senator Goldwater's home state) that has lots of detailed information, some of it that differs from the Wiki article; for example, the girl was three years old, not two. EXCERPT:
The groundbreaking commercial's official title was "Peace, Little Girl," but history forever associates it with the anonymous 3-year-old tot from Pine Beach, N.J., who starred in it: "Daisy Girl."
In 1964, she was Monique Corzilius, who under the professional name "Monique Cozy" had a brief but prolific career as a child model.
Today she is Monique Luiz, 53, a human-resources supervisor at a downtown Phoenix bank.
Her modeling success is documented in a family scrapbook compiled by her father, Frederick Corzilius, who died in 2012. From the age of 1½ to about 7 or 8, she appeared in ads for Kodak, Velveeta, Lipton, Hostess, Prudential Insurance and other products in mass-circulation magazines such as Life, Look,Reader's Digest, McCall's and Redbook.
Monique even made the cover of the Sept. 25, 1964, issue of Time via an image of the "Daisy" commercial.
