A blast from the past

As I was driving into work today I saw a bumper sticker on the car in front of me. Now, this is not a particularly unusual occurance; lots of people use their cars to express themselves.

But this sticker was a Kennedy-Johnson sticker.

And the car was relatively new Tahoe. Tahoes were not around when Kennedy and Johnson were running for office. Heck, I was not even around when Kennedy and Johnson were running for office!

So, needless to say, I was curious. I wondered several things, but mainly where the heck did the sticker come from, and what was the person trying to say?

Well, I've found an answer (or at least a possible answer) to the first question. I found a Kennedy-Johnson sticker for sale on eBay, as well as this site, where one can apparently make custom bumper stickers (FUN!), and sell them to profit either oneself or a charity.

OK, so now I now that there are places to buy vintage or vintage-esque stickers.

But why?

What does this mean? Is this Tahoe driver nostalgic for the 60's? Wishing the Democratic party would field a vibrant, exciting candidate? (note: Dude, we've come pretty close this time, come join the rest of us in this century!) Making some sort of satirical comment?

And why would someone DESIGN a Kennedy-Johnson sticker in 2008? What are THEY trying to say?

I find it a bit disturbing that someone is (possibly) feeling such ennui at our political system or candidates that they'd support two politicians WHO ARE DEAD!

Yeah, I'm thinking about this too much (nah, ya think?). But it was just weird.
