Immigrants? (that's how you tell when it's election time in Britain)
Anything else stirring the American electorate particularly?
And will we have the pleasure of hearing from Joe the Plumber?

With the quality of candidates throwing their hat in the game I've just been waiting for this guy to announce his candidacy for Republican Nomination 2012

The key topics will not be real topics. They will involve the suspicion around Romney's mormonism, Santorum sucking up air time blaming unemployment on homosexuality, Sarah Palin's paper thin populism "why can't we just be great americans by going back to what makes america great, wouldn't that be great, america? great." Obama's religion/nationality/communist leanings, and the decidedly insane posts some Ron Paul supporter makes on one of his community web sites. All of this will comprise about 85% of the national dialog during the election.
The real topics, when we get around to looking at them, will probably be exactly the ones you listed.
