Use Outside Campaign Advertising
Although "rarely noted by pundits during the course of congressional debate, the provision became one of the most recognized--and joked about--changes in the content of television ads."
Several politicians have made references to the phrase in aspects of their campaign outside radio or television advertising. In the 2006 elections, Senator Joseph Lieberman declared "I approve this election" in his acceptance speech, following his victory as a third party candidate (Connecticut for Lieberman). While just before the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton made news by announcing that "she did not approve this message", referring to a John McCain campaign using clips of her attacking Barack Obama during the Democratic primaries.
