Healthcare. Healthcare costs approach $15,000 a year for a family now-can't imagine future costs. There's rising very very quickly. A 12 year old boy dies in Maryland from an abscessed tooth infection which spread to his brain. No free dental care($100) but he was admitted to an emergency room & operated on to the tune of $250,000-and he died. We pay $100 and have a living child-or $250,000 with a dead one. Sounds like a third world country. I read a 52 yr old woman makes $60,000 a year as a realtor-but her insurance would be $26,000, because she had curable cancer. I don't thing people understand how large this problem is, though. We no longer live as long as any other industrialized country. Seems wrong.
And Constitutional rights and freedoms are really for the protection of the average joe. Wish they believed that.

I don't think the average Joe really has a choice. We are at war right now. We need to select the candidate with the best plan for winning the war and getting Baghdad turned totally over to Iraqi forces.

this is a critical election. whoever wins will inherit a mess brought on by arrogant and incompetence. 1) establish a working government. shed the silly partisan gridlock 2)exit iraq 3)solve immigration crisis 4)fiscal responsiblity reduce defict 5) reestablish national pride and international respect.

I think the war should be a considerate issue to most voters.

National Security, first. The economy, second. Government Waste, third

The most important issue is which presidential candidate is most likely to start WW III and kill us all.
