This year’s presidential election is unique, even historic, in part due to the personal demographics of the candidates themselves — with race, gender and age playing a prominent role for three of the four names across the two tickets.
Barack Obama, of course, is the first African-American major-party nominee for either president or vice president. Sarah Palin is only the second woman on a major-party ticket, after Geraldine Ferraro, the Democrats’ vice-presidential choice in 1984. And John McCain, at 72, is the second-oldest major-party nominee in presidential election history, after Bob Dole, who was a year older when he was nominated in 1996.
