One Week.
It is one week until the American voters choose their next President.
This election season seems to have gone on for much longer than past contests. So much has happened over the course of the campaign – in the race and in the world.
This is a historical election – and not only for the obvious reasons – This is the first election in which two sitting US Senators are running and this will be the first time, since 1960 that a sitting Senator will be elected (that is, selected by the electoral college) President.
Also, this is the first time that neither of the nominees was born in the Continental US. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, and John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
John McCain, if elected, will be the oldest first term president.
In an October 31, 2007 Quinnipac University National Poll: Former Governor, Rudy Giuliani, and the then “Republican front-runner” held a very slim 45 – 43 “lead” over Senator Hillary Clinton (despite the perception that she is “unstoppable”).
Interestingly, Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain were tied 43 – 43.
Today, Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows Barack Obama leading John McCain 51 – 46.
