President [[Ronald Reagan]] was still popular and approved of by the time came for him to be reelected. While Reagan easily won the Republican nomination with hardly any dissent, Democrats searched hard to find a candidate they thought could win. They eventually chose former Vice President, [[Walter Mondale]], as their candidate. Mondale surprised America by choosing Congresswomen, [[Geraldine Ferraro]], as his running-mate. Despite his popularity, Reagan campaigned hard for reelection, however he seemed to look rather exhausted in the first debate. However, by the second debate he appeared fresh and experienced. Reagan was able to win the election with a landslide majority over Mondale. <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents]], by Zachary Kent, Children's Press, 1989, pp. 71-73. </ref>
