1) The Federalists went into decline after the Louisiana Purchase (by Jefferson) and the Hartford Convention.
2) Monroe grew popular as the Secretary of State under Madison. He was the 3rd of the Virginia Dynasty.
3) Comparatively, King was unknown. The main two candidates were James Monroe (Democratic-Republic) and Rufus King (Federalist).

Off-year elections occur in the middle of presidential terms. They usually reflect the current opinion of the President and his party. As such, they may predict what will happen two years later, in the next presidential election. However, much can change in two years and the candidates two years later may be very different from the present leadership.
Their are two candidates in the 2012 presidential election.The first candidate is former president Barack Obama.The second candidate is Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.
