  1. Who ran for President?

  2. 4. 3. 1. 2. 6. 5. 7. 8. 9. 11. 10.

  3. Declared 2012 Democratic Presidential Candidate Current President of the United States Born to a Kenyan father and a Caucasian mother, the former community activist and lawyer came into national prominence with a show stopping keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, befitting his reputation as a brilliant orator. In 2008, after a hard fought win against Hillary Clinton to secure the Democratic nomination, the former Senator from Illinois defeated Republican John McCain to become the first African American to claim the presidency.

  4. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate U.S. Representative from MinnesotaMichele Bachmann Michele Bachmann, the three terms Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota, is the current chair of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus. The attractive Iowan, a former lawyer, officially announced her entry into the GOP nomination race at the start of the New Hampshire Presidential Debate on June 13, 2011. Bachmann started off her political life as a Democrat before switching to the Republican platform in her final year at Winona State University.

  5. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Businessman, Politician & MediaHerman Cain Cancer survivor, YouTube sensation and former mathematician with the US Navy, Herman Cain has a résumé that demands your attention. His experience on all three major fronts of American politics - corporate, legislative and media – through his stellar career at Pillsbury, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (as chairman) and as the host of WSB’s "The Herman Cain Show" in Atlanta, guarantees that the articulate Republican will never face a question of credibility.

  6. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Former Speaker of the HouseNewt Gingrich After a 13-year absence from mainstream politics, Newton Leroy Gingrich has announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. His campaign, which kicks off with 17-city swing, has unfortunately begun under a torrent of criticisms following his controversial statements on Medicare and a perceived attack of fellow Republican Paul Ryan. Nevertheless, Gingrich, a fighter and above all, a consummate politician, is expected to make a swift recovery and stamp his mark on the race.

  7. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Former Governor of Utah and Ambassador to ChinaJon Huntsman The 51-year old former Governor of Utah officially announced his much-anticipated entry into thepresidential race, with the Statue of Liberty spectacularly serving as the backdrop. The highly rated and charismatic Republican technocrat is considered by many in Washington as one of most dangerous dark horses in the race, and is one of the few capable of unseating President Obama.

  8. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate U.S. Representative from the state of TexasRon Paul The former medical doctor officially announced his candidacy for the 2012 Republican Presidential nomination on May 13, 2011. The 75-year old Texas Congressman will once again center his campaign on the theme of liberty, human rights and financial market reforms. With his small but vocal pockets of supporters spread all over the country, the Libertarian leaning Republican is set to be one of the most controversial characters on the campaign trail.

  9. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Current Governor of TexasRick Perry After almost two years of uncertainty, Texas Governor Rick Perry’s wall of resistance has crumbled. Perry took advantage of the publicity generated by the Ames Straw Poll and announced his entry into the Republican nomination race in Charleston, South Carolina, with a confident declaration, "I full well believe I'm going to win". His candidacy is expected to reinvigorate the hitherto subdued Republican evangelical grassroots, and inject some excitement into the contest.

  10. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Former US Senator from PennsylvaniaRick Santorum The former two-term senator from Pennsylvania officially announced his entry into the GOP Presidential nomination race on June 6, 2011, symbolically launching his campaign at the Somerset County Courthouse, located not far from the coal mine where his grandfather first worked after arriving from Italy. Despite his dismal poll numbers, Santorum is confident of gaining grounds on early favorite Mitt Romney and warns, "We are going to be in this race, and we're in it to win."

  11. Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate Former Governor of MassachusettsMitt Romney Right from the moment John McCain lost the 2008 election to Barack Obama, Romney has emerged as the clear favorite for the Republican 2012 presidential nominee. The Harvard man has been comfortably leading every poll since then. Unless Bachmann, Huntsman, Pawlenty and company start to make ground soon, the liberal turned conservative former Governor of Massachusetts may just walk through the primaries. While his ideology and personal beliefs may be subject to debate, his knack for business is beyond question

  12. Who is in charge now??
