"It's the [insert pet crusade here] Stupid!"

One thing that I hope gets retired from political writing in the US after this election is the use of the phrase "It's the [blank] stupid!" This election we heard about:

It's the War in Iraq Stupid!
It's the Abu Gharib Prison Scadal Stupid!
It's the Flu Shot Shortage Stupid!
It's the Price of Gasoline Stupid!
It's the Stem Cell Research "Ban" Stupid!
etc. etc. etc.............

The original "It's the Economy, Stupid!" was actually about something that could be an overiding factor in a presidential race, as it was in both 1992, working against Bush the Elder's terrible economy, and in 1996, working for Clinton's internet boom economy, so I wouldn't mind seeing the phrase come up again in that context. However, when the economy is somewhere in between the two extremes of '92 and '96, elections will not simply boil down to the economy, and no other single issue is, by itself, powerful enough to determine elections. So in those years, and 2004 is a prime example, I wish pundits would just give "It's the [blank] Stupid" a rest.
