Who will be the biggest panderer?

Today's entrant is Mr. Obama, who proposes that seniors earning less than $50,000 pay no federal income tax.

On first blush it has appeal to we "golden agers", most of whom vote. But, upon the most cursory of analyses, it is a truly stupid idea on a par with a gas tax holiday.

The presidential race has, as it always does, degenerated into a 'payment for votes' campaign. It's all either party understands.
