A Day In History, A Day Away-

This is election eve right here. Its so hot. Both the candidates campaigning strategically in the crucial and deciding states, Obama lost his grand mother, but still managing the campaign as scheduled, McCain is on his whirlwind campaign addressing the people in 7 states with in 24hours, large voter turn out ...
It is just 4 states, Ohio, Notrh Carolina, Verginia and Florida, that are going to decide the result.
Its all the drama, its climax.
Both the parties are making grand and confident arrangements for the celebration.
Some facts-
The United States presidential election of 2008, scheduled for Tuesday November 4, 2008, will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election and will select the President and the Vice President of the United States.
The 2008 election is particularly notable because it is the first time in U.S. history that two sitting senators will run against each other for president, and because it is the first time an African American is a presidential nominee for a major party, as well as the first time both major candidates were born outside the continental United States—Hawaii for Obama and the Panama Canal Zone for McCain. Since the Republican nominee for vice-president is a woman, Governor Sarah Heath Palin, the eventual winning ticket is very likely to be historic, as neither an African American nor a female has achieved either office. In addition, the Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, would be the oldest first-term president and the Democratic nominee for vice-president, Senator Joseph Biden, would be the first Roman Catholic vice president.
The election will coincide with the 2008 Senate elections in thirty-three states, House of Representatives elections in all states, and gubernatorial elections in eleven states, as well as various state referenda and local elections. The president-elect and vice president-elect are scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2009.
