The major issues in the 2008 presidential elections were:

a) The continuing war in Iraq

(c) The economic crisis

Explanation:

During the 2008 elections, the United States was already in a recession and people were tired of 8 years of the Bush era.

The single most important issue was the economic crisis and how a new president could lead the country out of the disaster.

Secondly, the war in Iraq, seen as one of the biggest blunders of the Bush era, was big thorn in the Republican party. There were calls to gradually withdraw troops and bring the US presence in Iraq to an end.

Sure, there were other issues such as Sara Palin not being fit for vice President or Barack Obama's inexperience in international politics. However, for most voters, these were not the 'major' issues on which the elections were being contested.
