Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden won their presidential election in 2012 over 2 other nominated candidates including Gary Johnson the Liberal candidate and Mitt Romney the Republican candidate whose running mate was Paul Ryan.
Mitt Romney is the former governor from Massachusetts was a highly favored second candidate for president. He was announced the Republican candidate in front of a huge crowd. When Romney was the 
governor of Massachusetts he had a health care reform in 2006 that was good for the people and showed that he could figure out ways to take care of the people as well as keep money for government actual needs, even though Romney ended up losing Massachusetts. Romney was quit on what he would do for a long time after Obama made it clear he wanted to run again and he came up with a strategy to work for him. It was a pretty good one and it didn’t waste tons of money. Which is a big thing Romney believes in is not wasting or gambling much money. He is more of a type of guy that will put money on several coins with hope that at least one turns his side.
Gary Johnson was the governor of New Mexico for two terms and he did much good for the state 
including decreasing there spending and building finical stability. He learned to do this when he first was a construction business runner and he was a very good company that was fundamentally sound that has been around for over 40 years.
Gary wasn’t very popular in the voting but he did receive a few votes. However, Obama and Romney were the head to head in the challenge of becoming the president. Most people believe it was the debates that ended up winning it for Obama because of some things that Romney said trying to accuse Obama of things he didn’t do and a CNN reported proved Obama right.
I believe that both major candidates could have done other things in there race for president and that they both have things to improve on to be good political leaders for America.
