There are 4 major aspects if this election are : War, health care, abortion, and global warming. The reasons I say they are major political aspects is because everyone's talking about them and the news stations won't leave these topics alone. Also, I think if a candidate was to ignore where they are going to stand on these issues they'll will be committing political suicide.
For me I want a president who is going to stay in Iraq for just a few more years and then start pulling out. The reason- debt. George Bush isn't necessarily the biggest reason for our debt but the war has cost us a lot of money. Also, we would look weak if we were to totally pull out troops short of our main goal. I dislike people who say we shouldn't be in Iraq. I'd like them to say that face to face with the family members lost Sept 11, 2001.
Health Care is a massive topic. I would definitely like to see the presidential candidate talk about this. They can't win either way. How are we going to afford this without tax increase. What happened to capitalism and what it stands for. Look at other countries with free health care, it takes months to get into just a dentist office.
Now, the mother of all topics is abortion. There are religious, moral and several other aspects behind why not to have an abortion. Yet, in certain cases I can see why one would want an abortion: rape, incest...etc. The biblical argument would be that God has a plan for everyone and why not rape victims?
Global Warming in my opinion is a minor issue yet green party members make it a must for the presidential candidate to talk about. I personally think global warming is retarded. We've had global warmings and coolings before. The next reason it is so big is people stand to gain from hyping global warming.

To understand the president better, you must know the qualifications to become the president. You must be a natural born citizen. You must be at least 35 years old. Last, you must have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.
The President of the United States is one of the 3 most important parts of our government. The president has several jobs that are unknown to most people. The president has many jobs with each of these titles: Chief of State, Chief Executive, Chief Administrator, Chief Diplomat, Commander in Chief, Chief Legislator, Chief of Party, and Chief Citizen.
As Chief of State, Chief of State, he is the ceremonial head of the government of the U.S. He is then, the symbol of all the people in the nation. "The personal embodiment and representative of their dignity and majesty"-Taft. As Chief Executive, he is the executive power of the United States.
As Chief Administrator, he is heading one of the largest governmental machines the world has known. Today, the President directs an administration with some three million civilian employees. This company spends more than a trillion dollars a year. As Chief Diplomat, he is the chief architect of american foreign policy and the nation's chief spokesman to the rest of the world.
As Commander in Chief, he is the commander of the U.S. armed forces. He controls over 2 million men and women in uniform. As Chief Legislator, he is the architect of it's public policy.
The President seems to have a lot of power, yet, checks and balances he isn't an almighty dictator which is a good thing. He has the power to veto bills which is an important part of separation of powers. The presidents veto is to the legislative branch trying to pass a bill, yet they can circumvent him by asking the judicial branch whether the bill they are trying to pass is constitutional or not. So, I'd say the president is very important but not the most important out of the three.

Giuliani and Clinton
Giuliani and Hillary both popular one by last name “Clinton”, and one by job status “mayor of N.Y.”. This battle is basically a popularity contest who can get the most “support” through appearances, debates, and being at the right place at the right time, adding saying the right thing at the right time always helps too.
Giuliani best known for his former job as the Mayor of New York, Serving for two terms and the end of his first endeavor he was put on pause due his illness (prostate cancer). Despite all of this he kept going in his ambitions and chose to enter the presidential race. He holds the opinions of being pro choice, pro gay rights, is against universal healthcare, and supports illegal aliens in gaining citizenship.
Giuliani a contender in that battle against Hillary. Giuliani has some things going against him, three marriages hits a soft spot hit once with the Lewinsky affair, his inability to get social liberals to vote republican. There is a positive going for him though his strong leadership skills, image, and experience with national security through the tragedy of 9/11. Mayor Giuliani held the broken city of New York together, or so it seemed many hold him accountable for a poor decision in going against expert advice and building the new emergency command center underneath the World Trade Center. Some may view the judgment as ridiculous but other who view the glass as half full may see it as a point of strength not running in fear but rather standing and saying we fall and get back up.
Hillary Clinton, well recognized for being the first lady to Bill Clinton (1993-2001). Bring at an early stage and politics she decided to not just sit pretty and smile but rather make her Health Care Plan well known. She wanted to be heard and she was, yet wasn’t supported by the US Congress in 1994. Being noticed as a potential candidate for the United States President as early as 2002, she would be the first wife and first to nominated by a major political party. H. Clinton’s positives consist of her well known husband, her support is strong she is recognized for her many first and known for her passion in HealthCare. She has the tender care, but is this enough to overthrow the negatives of the money issues in her plan of which aren’t easily accepted by the wealthy, are there more people who few power, authority and strength in a man rather a women.
Hillary Clinton and Giuliani are strong in there differences and similar in there strengths so who triumphs? The person with the most popularity, weather they are recognized for positives or negatives is all comes down to when you have the ballot in your hand what name is in your head.
