Surprise- Iraq Is Issue #1

In what may be worrisome news for Republicans up for reelection, polls show the top three issues that will effect how people this year are.... Iraq, healthcare, and the economy. As I see it- Iraq is a disaster, healthcare is a mess, and the economy is a well-stacked Jenga pile with no real substantive support. So concern on these issues is understandable, particularly the Iraq war, which contrary to what Republicans and pundits want to believe, is the prominent issue of our time.

Healthcare probably plays best for the Democrats, followed by Iraq, followed by the economy. In what I find encouraging news, terrorism ranked low, below even gas prices. This is not to say that it's not still a concern for many Americans, but I think people are past the point where they see it as a partisan political issue. Karl Rove's gonna be pissed.

"What will be the single most important issue in your vote for Congress this year?"



November's still months away. I'll ask again for the Democrats to start some real campaigns.
