Bush-Cheney "Let's Win This One for the Gipper!" Political Campaign Button, 2004
2004
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
President Ronald Reagan's political legacy looms large, especially among Republican presidential candidates. In June 2004, the former President passed away. President George W. Bush, in a heated reelection battle against Democratic Senator John Kerry, used the Reagan legacy to solidify Republican support. This slogan -- referencing Reagan's popular nickname taken from one of the actor-turned-politician's film roles (George Gipp in Knute Rockne, All American) -- helped Bush to victory.
