Hillary Clinton: first viable woman candidate (honorable mention to Elizabeth Dole, and Geraldine Ferraro).

Again, those other two weren't "viable" as President. And Ferraro ran for Vice President

John McCain: oldest man to ever run for office

He'll be 72 on election day. But Bob Dole was 73 on election day 1996.

Mitt Romney: first Mormon to run for president

Actually Joseph Smith the founder of the mormon faith ran in 1844 (though he died a few months after he started his campaign).

Bow ties are coool.
