Radosh.net sexy activist correspondent TG Gibbon (that is, the correspondent who covers sexy activists, though he may also be a sexy activist himself for all I know) notes that the rally-babe photo trend goes back at least as far as 1952.

The Getty Images caption reads, "Pretty, buxom woman wearing fitted top that bears slogan: GLADLY FOR ADLAI, as man admires her during presidential campaign rally for Adlai Stevenson."

It would work just as well without that first comma.

Stevenson's liberal use of tightly-sweatered campaign babes was immortalized in a "Happy Days" episode:

First aired: 1/28/1975
Richie goes against Howard and, to get a girl, campaigns for Adlai Stevenson in the 1956 Presidential race.>>

Ah, punctuation-based humor and cross-generational letchery, together at last. Impressive!
