2008, because we became aware during primary season we would be breaking new ground in whom we would elect: the oldest candidate elected to a first term [John McCain, 72]; the first African-American elected to the presidency [Barack Obama]. There was Hillary Clinton as possibly the first female U.S. president. And, after nominations were won, Sarah Palin being selected as McCain's running mate (the first from a Republican ticket). In a way, it felt like America grew up.
