A Landmark Presidential Election To view the article in magazine format,
Please click here for the PDF File  After six months of primary voting, each of the largest American political parties has settled on a candidate who will make history if elected President of the United States in November. Senators Barack Obama of Illinois and John McCain of Arizona remain the presumptive Democratic and Republican candidates until their party conventions confirm their nominations in late August and September. If McCain wins, he would be the oldest person elected President of the United States. Obama would be the first African American President if he is victorious. Representing the state of Arizona as a Republican, John McCain has served in the Senate, the upper house of the U.S. Congress, since 1986. He spent 22 years in the Navy and credits military experience with shaping his understanding of national security and foreign policy. Serving in the Senate since 2004, Barack Obama introduced legislation that allows Americans to learn online how their tax dollars are spent. He also serves on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, which helps oversee the care of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
