The challengers are at a disadvantage, as they're going to have to address whether they'll cancel the tax cuts if elected- which could sway some people against them.
Or from a left side, maybe a government would offer a massive boost to public health care, or some other popular social program.
It seems like a viable election tactic, but I can't recall many examples.
Have you guys seen other examples of using this tactic?
