1. Raising grassroots money faster than candidate Obama did in 07/08.
2. Doing better in the polls than candidate Obama did at his equivalent time in 07/08.

Those are a couple of big ones.

3. Doing all of this despite a attempted media blackout.
4. Bigger crowds in MA than candidate Obama had during the 07/08 primaries.
5. If elected he would be the first Jew to occupy the Oval Office.
6. If elected he would be the oldest person ever elected to the Oval Office.
7. If elected he would be the first Democratic Socialist to occupy the Oval Office.

Granted numbers 5, 6, and 7 have yet to have happened yet but if they did they would already add to the historicness of this election.

He's experienced and accomplished. Capable of doing every last thing he has promised. More, thanks to his record, we can be assured that he can be trusted to do what he says he is going to do. Here is more proof!

8. He has actually stayed true to his ideals as a legislator from the beginning, he has never needed to 'evolve' on the issues.
