That’s true to some point. However what I would be most interested is which opinions/beliefs would have the greatest direct impact on my quality of life and freedom.

Since there’s no doubt that current administration made some of the most damaging decisions precisely on things which I value the most, anything but a complete U-turn in foreign politics would be a disaster for me.

No doubt the most important direct impact on the quality of my and my children’s life would have questions about Iraq/Iran. Any candidate having strong connections with the same lobbies as present administration would be a disaster. In short any candidate who feels he should be representing an average American would be better choice than one leaning to accomplish interests of haves and more haves only, no matter if he’s an Alien or Antichrist.

The next thing I would be watchful would be lying about the most important issues.
I’d be very watchful about pretending patriotism wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross. All freedom issues like abortion, gay rights, death penalty are important for me, but somehow it wouldn’t have that much direct impact on my life, so I’d say they would be less important for my decision at this moment.

Not critical, but anyway – I’d much rather have a lawyer for a president, than a cowboy, one who puts cooperation in front of militarization or repression. And of course I’d really rather have a candidate with at least 100+ IQ.
