The United States presidential election of 2008, scheduled for November 4, 2008, will be the 56th consecutive quadrennial election for president and vice president of the United States.  It will coincide with the 2008 Senate elections, House of Representative elections, and gubernatorial elections, as well as many state and local elections.ⁱ 

While presenting the electorate with a chocie of candidates who represent a multitude of backgrounds, the 2008 election is also the first election in 80 years that will not feature an incumbent president or an incumbent vice president as a candidate.ⁱⁱ  The candidates of this election face many unique challenges, one of which is an increasingly disparate voter population, even within the same party.
