TIME: 10 Things That Never Hapened Before

Almost two years ago, a lifetime, the 2008 presidential campaign launched. All throughout things occurred that we never imagined could ever happen. In a Republican debate, several candidates claimed they did not believe in evolution, some guy named Joe became the focus of the republican candidate for president, Ron Paul became a cult hero, and so on.

In this weeks edition of Time, Mark Halperin put together a top 10 list of things that have never happened in a presidential campaign before.

1. "A Former First Couple (Bill and Hillary Clinton) Switches Roles"
   
2. "Superdelegates Finally Have A Say" - how many of you knew what a superdelegate was before this campaign season. As someone who has votes democratic, even I will admit that the idea of a superdelegate is stupid.
3. "Wrong Track Sky-High" - Bush's approval ratings and with the country feeling that they are unsatisfied with the way things are going on the U.S., marks the end of an era that started with Ronald Reagan.
4. "Outsiders In" - for the first time since 1928, neither an incumbent President of Vice President ran for the top slot.
5. "Selling History" - Obama raised the most money of any candidate in the history of the U.S. rejecting public funding. Did Obama buy his presidency?
6. "An African American but Not Just an African American" - Obama, an African American, won the presidency of the United States. Who here though they would ever see a black president? Robert "Bobby" Kennedy did: "There's no question that in the next thirty or forty years, a Negro can also achieve the same position that my brother has as President of the United States, certainly within that period of time."
7. "Best. Reality Show. Ever." - SATURDAY NIGH LIVE RESURRECTED.
8. "Internet Fund-Raising Comes of Age" - the Obama campaign made history on so many levels, not only is he going to be our first black president, he did it shattering Internet fund-raising records. In one month Obama raised more money than the previous leader did in a election cycle: September 2008, Obama raises $150 million, 75% of which came from individuals donating via the web.
9. "Mooseburgers, Snow Machines And Serious Politics" - Sarah Palin helped McCain during the Republican Convention. After that she was useless. Watch: Couric / Palin Interview 1, Couric / Palin Interview 2, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.
10. "An October Surprise (in September)" - McCain states "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" amidst one of the worst financial crisis in our history. Some believe that this alone lost him the presidency.
