I likie Rudy but I am afraid he carries way too much baggage around. He doesn't have a shot but he could end up being a power broker for the Reps.
I like Russ Fiengold but he is a Jew so stands little chance to be elected.
Immigration will be the big question. The war in Iraq is pretty much marginalised as we see in the polls. The so-called war on terror never existed in the first place. The things the Bush white house did supposedly to combat terror; look at it. The OPatriot Act? Nothing. There has been no significant convictions of any terrorists so-far; they can't even figure out what to do with the guys in Guantanamo. The arrest rate of terrorists is down to a small fraction of what they did right after the 9/11 and most of those have been exonerated.
The Europeans have been dealing with this terrorism thing for 40 yrs and they let the police handle it and they do a good job. No; I don't see the "War" on terror being an issue in the Presidential election of 2008. By then we will be seriously in debt and taxes will have to be raised to cover the vig. That will be a big issue.
Education; when the middle class realises they can no longer afford to send their kids to college it will be screaming time from te electorate about that.
How to fund the re-building of the military now that we have squandered most of the equipment and forces inIraq and it wqill all have to be re-built.
Lots of retirement issues as these companies continue to eliminate retirement plans they promised the workers and more and more of those workers begin to look at retireing as they get older.
