McCain 08

Answer 3

All the innocent people we're killing in Afghanistan... 60 more kids killed this week by American bombs...

Overcoming racism. Everyone knows Obama would make a better president than McCain, but racism lingers. The neocons have shown their true colors.

Answer 5

Oil independence,cutting spending, war on terror  

Answer 6

The Iraq War because Bush and his co-conspirators lied us into an unnecessary war. Saddam Hussein was no threat to our security, Saddam Hussein was contained by no-fly zones, they knew that but went to war anyway.. All of our troops who have been killed or injured in that war have died and been wounded needlessly. These people have murdered our heroes, they are war criminals. McCain would continue this disastrous war and the needless killing of our brave troops. Vote to keep them alive, vote to send them home to their love ones, VOTE OBAMA

Character, because McCain has it and Obama is one.

Answer 14

Gas prices (advantage McCain), unless/until a foreign policy crisis arises or UBL/Al Qaeda attack again (in which case, advantage McCain).



The latter should be the #1 issue, but the public is easily distracted by paying a few more cents per gallon, so the public's priority #1 is wishy washy and variable.  Used to be AIDS - where's that one rank now, despite no cure?
