Yes, but just speaking to that subject would pull in tons of votes.

Yes and no.

The Fair Tax is much to easy for opponents to spin in short order.

You've got to keep in mind that a major percentage of voters DON'T PAY TAXES, if they hear that they will start having to pay a sales tax of 20+% without a careful explanation of rebates you will lose them.

The voters who already know about the Fair Tax or could immediately see its benefit probably aren't voting for Obama to start with.

a lot of us conservatives don’t like the fair tax either. Then again we don’t like the bailout or the Hillary mortgage idea and many of mccain’s other ideas and we’ll still vote for mccain over obama.
