We can't even imagine what the issues will be next week. It's too early IMO to know what issues will be key in the election

If I got paid $1,000 per posting, it wouldn't be enough. I'll take it.

Whatever your business is (unless it is campaign buttons, banners, etc) you don't need to know anything else except ask yourself if you have the best product out there for the money, and is there a willing pool of people who want/need the product. If you advertise enough, or have good will enough, all you have to do is build a better mousetrap, and people will come to you to buy your product or service. Your problem will be in keeping the Government away from you...ESPECIALLY if you have 50 or more employees. That is another 'ball game' altogether. The Government, local, state and federal, will do EVERTHING they can do to oversee what you do, and to tax it as much as they can, at every level. Since more than half of the employees in this country work for local, state and federal government agencies, it is hard for them to really understand that they are Overhead, and you can be Profit, if they will just let you alone to do your job...create new goods and services and help to fund the government workers. I try to understand the electorate to understand the economy and how it impacts my life and the products I create and companies I invest in. If something is important, I'll contact Congress or the appropriate Department to see how I could get it done.
