Voters queue to cast their ballots in Arlington, Virginia of the United States on Nov. 4, 2008.
The presidential election this year is unique in the sense that for the first time in the American history an African American is the presidential candidate. Besides, for the first time two sitting senators will be contesting against each other.
Whosoever finally wins the presidential race, history will be made in the United States. If Obama wins, he will be the first African American to become the U.S. president and his vice-presidential running mate Joe Biden would be the first Roman Catholic vice president.
On the other hand, if McCain wins he will be having for the first time a female vice president, also the first one in American history. Moreover, McCain would be the oldest president.
