i really don't have a strong personal attachment to either, since they both seem to be pandering and promising things they most likely can't deliver.
Well to be fair Obama did say he wants to cut taxes so people making $50,000 or less a year would pay no federal income tax. He plans on doing this by increasing taxes on people making $250,000 or more and doing away the Bush tax cut for the rich.
