Presidential politics

It is great to see something other than the traditional 2 white men on Democrat and Republican tickets. No matter who wins - the next 4 years should be interesting in deed.
.
As for experience:
.
- Who was Harry Truman when he was elected Vice President in 1994? An unknown Senator from Missouri who had run a clothing store.
.
- Who was Theodore Roosevelt when he was elected Vice President in 1900? A short term Governor of New York, a former Police Commissioner in New York City and a US Army Colonel .
.
- Who was Abraham Lincoln when he was elected President in 1860? Looser of a US Senate race in 1858. Lincoln had served a single term in the US House of Representatives in the 1840s and 4 terms in the Illinois State Legislature.
.
Obama / Biden versus Mc Cain / Palin?
