If I were lucky enough to be able to select a couple of questions for tomorrow night's Presidential Debate at Hofstra, I would choose some questions that have not been beaten to death on the campaign trail so far.  Whether or not these important issues are touched upon in the debates, here are the ones that I would want to make sure that the next leader of the free world weighed in on before I went to the polls:

One glaring omission so far is climate change.  There is no doubt that the Earth is heating up; the ice caps are melting and drought is rampant, resulting in higher food prices globally.  This issue has been every presidential debate cycle since 1984, but so far this time around, there has only been silence.  Although the Democratic Party Platform did touch upon this issue as a national security concern, Obama has not said much since the Democratic Convention.  On the other hand, the Republican Party's skepticism concerning the seriousness of climate change (I mean come on, Romney joked about it during his convention speech) casts a lot of doubt on their willingness to do something about it.  If Romney is going to change his mind (which seems to be an effective campaign strategy), he needs to give the message enough time to reach voters.
