Also, I don't trust electronic voting. They need to do something about that.
That should be more of an issue.

The Iraq war is still a big issue for me. I think nominating Biden would be a huge mistake.
Wars are costly, so there is a lot of overlap between this issue and economics.

I think that being anti-war can only help the Democrats, because people are tired of war and want a break from it.

Voting reform is strategically important. The more people that vote, the more legitimacy the winning candidates have. Of course, I think FPTP is a bad way to elect candidates. There are a number of issues that fall into this category.
