Every presidential election is historic.

The President does not have to be a “FIRST” anything to be historic, so PLEASE, NEVER vote for someone just because it would be a “FIRST”.
If all we’re trying to do at the polls is create historic moments, we could do that in practically any election.  Mitt Romney would have been the first Mormon elected president.  John McCain would have been the first (and probably only) Vietnam POW elected president.  John Kerry would have been the first Frankenstein’s monster elected president.  Dennis Kucinich, the first Hobbit.  And Al Gore, the first robot… 

OK, we have already elected a Muslim for President.  Please, let’s not ever elect another one.
