Both can be first by Zuzana Valkova

Today the whole United States are speaking about the elections. They have two very special and strong candidates; both of them could be first in something. Barrack Obama is a Junior Senator of the Illinois state. He is in his office since 2005. He chose democratic political party to be his favorite, so he is running for them. He studied at two very prestigious universities, at Columbia University and at Harvard Law School. He could become the first black American President in the history of the US. His opponent is Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton. It's easy to guess in what she could be first. She could be the first woman in the President office. She had the advantage of being the First Lady of the US, because as you know, her husband Bill Clinton was already the President, so she knows how things in the White House work. She is a republican candidate, and also a junior Senator of New York State. She studied at Wellesley College and then at Yale Law School. So they have something in common. Both of them are from the north of the States and both of them have finished Law schools. And both of them want to be the "First President". Right now they are working on their campaigns; try to get as many votes as they can. But it's still more complicated, because Americans have different election system, citizens don't vote directly. They give their vote for the candidate to the elector, and these electors vote the president. Every state vote separately. Elections happens every fourth November, so the next one is planned for November 4,2008.
