Which issue helped determine the outcome of the 2008 presidential race?

Answer
A
worry about campaign financing
B
anger over health-care reform
C
opposition to the war in Iraq
D
concern about an oil spill

Explanation

Opposition to the Iraq War was a major issue in the 2008 presidential race. Many voters were dissatisfied with the war and favored Barack Obama, who had opposed the invasion, over John McCain, who supported continuing the U.S. involvement. The other choices were not central factors in determining the election outcome.
