Will Obama be the First African-American President?

John McCain is a 71 year-old man who has found himself running for President.  In the beginning there were 13 Republican candidates but it’s down to one, John McCain. McCain isn’t just running for President, but also a husband and a father to seven kids.

And More...

John McCain is the only Republican that promises to get us out of "Bush’s Mess" with the war.  McCain also is a huge supporter of stopping Global Warming. He decided to stay in the race and not focus as much on Global Warming because he would rather be President.

The thought of the people in this country is McCain, at 71 years of age, is a little too old to be president. Will that have an effect in the end?

Wouldn’t it be cool if Hillary Clinton won? Then she and her husband would both have been President. She would also be the first woman President! What would Bill Clinton be called? Will it be the First Man?
