Between these two rounds, the US elected Barack Obama as the new President, making history as the first Black President, usually, you hear African-American, but this may be confusing, as of course President-Elect Obama is 100% American first. Had McCain won, there would have been a first woman Vice-President. So over all, the Election was a guaranteed first for one of the tickets. (Gov. Palin isn't the first woman to run as a Vice-Presidential candidate, that honor going to Geraldine Ferraro.)
