Three decent ones for me.

Yes, call me a geek, but net neutrality is something majorly on my mind. Opposing Net Neutrality just further puts a steak in McCain for me

I've been happy to see Romney being pretty tough on the immigration issue

The PATRIOT Act one worries me, due to how much research I've actually done to the act (at this point I think I they've read more of the damn thing then most politicians did when they voted). Abolishing the PATRIOT Act would be a colossal mistake. Getting rid of parts of it? Sure...actually, that's kind of how the acts meant to go. It has numerous built in sunsets, and is constantly being tweaked as things are no longer needed or other such issues. But I'd say about 90-95% of the Act is amazingly useful, important, and not "dangerous" and simply brings 40 year old law up to date with those amazing thing called "electronics". Cause you know....cell phones, beepers, email, computers, "Tha internetz" with all its pipes and such...just weren't around when the previous laws were made concerning communications.
