I also think the most important issue is the War in Iraq, and the Democrats aren't delivering on the issue they won on. They are extremely weak there and I think it is an issue he needs to put up front. They may abandon social programs (it's not like they'd dissapear the day he was sworn in as POTUS) to elect someone who actually opposes an illegal war.
Or, are you going to let a few books of food stamps get in the way of bringing the troops home?
