The 2008 election is the first time in U.S. history that two sitting senators are running against each other for president and the first time an African American is a presidential nominee for a major party-Democrate, as well as the first time both major candidates were born outside the continental United States—Hawaii for Obama and the Pnanama Canal Zone for McCain. Since the Republican nominee for vice-president is a woman, Governor Sarah Palin, the eventual winning ticket is very likely to be historic, as neither an African American nor a female has achieved either office. In addition, the Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, would be the oldest first-term president and the Democratic nominee for Vice-President, Senator Joseph Biden, would be the first Roman Catholic vice president.
Regardless of what party you support or who you are voting for, the most important thing today is to take time to vote.
