presidential campaign issues, hillary clinton campaign Today will be the defining day for the Hillary Clinton campaign, since Indiana and North Carolina are voting today, and whether she takes these states or Obama wins them will decide the primary results for these candidates. They have similar positions on some of the presidential campaign issues, but I heard yesterday that Obama wants to increase some of the taxes on capital gains by quite a lot.

Gas taxes have become a hot button with regard to presidential campaign issues, and while Clinton and McCain favor dropping the federal gas tax for consumers, Obama opposes it. He says it will just allow the gas stations to raise the prices even more, and the consumers will see little benefit. The $28 that each household saves by not paying this tax annually is not worth losing the billions that the gas tax collects for various road projects. On this issue, I agree with Obama, because the individual savings are not enough to make any kind of difference in people's budgets, while it will make a huge negative impact on the ultimate safety of the highways. Think about hitting potholes going 80 miles an hour.
