The three issues that should be most important are: 1. Education, 2. Energy policy, and 3. Transportation. Unfortunately, the majority of the electorate likes to debate unimportant issues like abortion or gay marriage.

The electorate must decide if the want the lobbyists to continue to feast at the public treasury hog trough or if they want to take control of spending . They have to make a commitment to eliminate the national debt, repair America's dilapidated infrastructure, completely replace the education system, and re-arm the gutted military.

Health care - assuming the Iraq fiasco is over by then. The polls support this.
"While the war in Iraq remains the overarching issue in the early stages of the 2008 campaign, access to affordable health care is at the top of the public’s domestic agenda, ranked far more important than immigration, cutting taxes or promoting traditional values"

Campaign finance reform.
The influence of campaign money on the performance of our goverment (or lack thereof) is becoming difficult to ignore any more. The Abramoff scandal will hopefully spur folks to recognize the undue influence lobbyists have toward skewing legislation. This issue affects policy in ALL areas. Defense contracting, health care, environmental, education, manufacturing, etc. It's pervasive and malignant. It HAS to change and the sooner the better.

The fact that they are loosing their freedoms, as government becomes larger. Just look at what the Congress has enacted in the last ten years as "anti-terrorist" legislation. If you know your history, you will see a parallel between that, and Germany, with the passage of the "Enabling Act". The Enabling Act was passed by the German Reichstag to give Hitler extraordinary powers to deal with terrorism. The rest is history.
