One third of Americans believe health care is the deciding issue of the 2008 campaign, half of Republicans favor universal health care, and voters in early primary states want candidates to address health care more than any other issue.

Monday afternoon, four Democratic presidential candidates (Clinton, Edwards, Richardson, and Kucinich) participated in the LIVESTRONG Cancer Forum, moderated by Chris Matthews on MSNBC. Much like the CNN/YouTube debate last month, this forum addressed the concerns of "real" America, not "corporate" America. I applaud that.
