Calvin Coolidge's
slogan for the 1924 campaign was "Keep Cool and Keep Coolidge"...which goes to
prove even then clever marketing was important in politics. But it wasn't enough
to have it as a slogan, it was turned into a song. Keep
Cool and Keep Coolidge was written by Bruce Harper and Ida Cheever Goodwin. VPR's Sarah Ashworth asked Robert Resnick to play a rendition of the song in the VPR Studios.
