The income splitting promise was a mistake though. Everyone knows politicians are full of empty promises, but Harper didn't even mask that this was empty. All Ignatieff has to do is make some kind of promise for families that takes effect immediately, and he scores points.

The only one of them that has promised anything for families thus far ( at least immediately) is Layton with the absolutely lame credit card nonsense.
Ignatieff promised 1.5 Billion in education stuff this afternoon, while Harper threw out the EI assistance for small business....which could cost the feds a 165 million in revenue currently collected.
It would be interesting to keep track of how much money these 3 promise over the course of the next 6 weeks.
