Even the Great Pumpkin Is Voting Nixon-Agnew


Richard M. Nixon and Spiro T. Agnew, running in the 1968 U.S. presidential election as the Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates, used the popularity of cartoonist Charles Shultz's animated television special, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (first broadcast in 1966), to suggest that even the Great Pumpkin--the Halloween equivalent of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny--would cast a vote for them.
Campaign workers evidently canvassed neighborhoods and placed pumpkin doorknob hangers like this one on the front doors of potential voters. Since the election that year was on November 5, the pumpkins served as a holiday-themed message at the end of October to remind voters to go to the polls.
The Great Pumpkin was looking out for Nixon and Agnew, and they won the election.
