In my opinion--the economy. If the economy goes down, there will be no way to do much of anything else. It's not doing good right now, and it's going to be much worse in November.

To that end--I think Ron Paul's suggestion of taking away the Federal Reserve's monopoly on US currency is a great idea, and it's one that no other candidates will touch with a ten-foot pole.

I don't need more safe places to ride.
More bike racks would be helpful, but I don't know that I want the federal government in charge of that sort of thing.
