Rockefeller for the Presidential nominee on the Republican ticket, featuring an image of Nelson A. Rockefeller shaking hands with a crowd. In 1968, Robert Kennedy was almost a certainty to become the Democratic presidential candidate, and the Republican party did not want a repeat of the 1960 election, with another "Kennedy/Nixon" election, fearing that Nixon would surely lose to the charismatic Bobby Kennedy, and so many within the Republican party were strongly advocating Nelson Rockefeller as the Republican candidate, with the slogans "Rocky can win." and "Rocky has never lost an election." as digs against Nixon, who had both lost in 1960 for President, and in 1962 for Governor of California, and they felt he couldn't win, but then Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, and it then became far more reasonable for Nixon to be nominated, and he was, and he became President!
