Rank your 3 most important issues for upcoming election

BryNTP · 10-09-2008, 03:07 PM

Rank your top 3 most important issues for the upcoming election and who you are planning on voting for based solely on those top issues. I might add a poll when I see enough of the same issues over and over again, but it would have to be just your top issue.

1) Economy
2) Energy Independence
3) When we get out of the mideast.

I have another question to add:

Why are people more concerned with national politics which have less appreciable consequences on their daily life than with their local politics?

I just looked at my ballot and found out who was running for my county council, state delegates, and district judges last week. I can barely find any information on any of them.

It takes actual effort to find that information out, and any information you find tends to be a bit more dry and less entertaining. The Rush Limbaughs and John Stewarts of the world don't discuss them.

1. Executive competence (the ability to chose the right people to posts that will make the government work effectively and efficiently).
2. Executive Focus (on the Economy, National Security, and Energy independence.)
3. A leader people will follow.
