Who are the candidates?
Barack Obama
2012 Democratic Presidential Nominee
Current President of the United States
Born to a Kenyan father and an American mother, the former constitutionallaw professor, lawyer, community activist and financial writer came into national prominence with a show stopping keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, befitting hisreputation as a brilliant orator. In 2008, after a hard fought win against Hillary Clinton to secure the Democratic nomination, the then Senator from Illinois crushed Republican John McCain to become thefirst African American to claim the presidency, concluding his meteoric rise to the pinnacle of American politics.
Mitt Romney
2012 Republican Presidential Nominee
Former Governor ofMassachusetts
Senator John McCain's defeat to President Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election signaled the reemergence of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as a serious contender and clearfavorite for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
The Harvard man has been comfortably leading almost every poll since then. He was knocked off his perch for about two months during the summerof 2011, first by Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, and then, Texas Governor Rick Perry. However, he recovered, and despite losing the opening caucus in Iowa to former Pennsylvania SenatorRick Santorum and a short-lived, acrimonious battle in the South against former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, the former venture capitalist steam rolled past his opponents for the rest of thecampaign with relative ease.
On August 30, 2012, Gov. Romney was nominated as the nominee for President in front of over 15,000 party faithful during the Republican National Convention in Tampa,Florida.
