abstract	The United States presidential election of 2008 was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. It was the 56th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election. Outgoing incumbent Republican President George W. Bush's policies and actions and the American public's desire for change were key issues throughout the campaign, and during the general election campaign, both major party candidates ran on a platform of change and reform in Washington. Domestic policy and the economy eventually emerged as the main themes in the last few months of the election campaign, particularly after the onset of the 2008 economic crisis. Then incumbent Vice President Condoleeza Rice would win the election by a fair margin over Governor Bill Richardson and Senator Joe Biden. The Richardson camp would be plagued by several major gaffes and also there sloppy appeal to the economic issues. Unique aspects would hover over the election as Richardson became the first Hispanic presidential candidate and Rice became the first ever female and African-American President. Rice would take office on January 20th.
