Any way you slice it, assuming that Huckabee (heavens forbid) dosn't have a sudden surge of popularity leading to victory in November, the next President will be a first.
The most obvious firsts being Hillary Clinton as the first woman president and Barack Obama as the first biracial president. Only slightly less obvious is McCain as the oldest President at time of assuming office.
Did you know, though, that McCain would also be the first President born in a U.S. territory, not a state? Obama would be the first from Hawaii, and Clinton would be the first former First Lady president. All three are sitting senators, of which only two others have been elected to the presidency: John F. Kennedy and Warren G. Harding.
I'm sure there are a slew of other firsts that the color commentary researchers will make notes of on Inauguration Day.
