Has anyone been keeping up on the debates?

I think what you cited covers 100% of what we elect people to go to Washington to handle. I agree with you BTW that those issues are primary. You could certainly drill into sub-issues that are high visibility but they all fall into what you described.
I can find spot issues here and there with various candidates but none that really light me up. For example...I will hear a number of positions expressed by Ron Paul with which I agree and then he expresses one that make me wonder if he's taking crazy pills. I think that Herman Cain probably does that the least for me but even he has me shaking my head from time to time. I firmly believe that the closer we get to the Primaries and caucuses the less forthcoming the candidates will be with expressing their core beliefs.
Frankly the whole process makes me sad.
