I’m talking about what I think will happen, not what I want to happen. McCain has electability. It’s one of the major factors in his favor. He’s the only Republican who can win this election, in my opinion. I’m trying to call it like I see it. The hard-line conservative stance on immigration is a losing election issue, not just now but in the future as well. That doesn’t mean it isn’t the right course of action or that it can’t or shouldn’t be done. But if you look at demographic trends in the West and Southwest, the GOP absolutely must not let Hispanics go the way of blacks. State after state has doubled or tripled their populations of Hispanics in the past couple of decades. The GOP would be the party of the South and some of the Midwest and nothing else.

Hispanics do not vote as a group generally. However, for the past decade they have been solidly Democrat except when a MINORITY voted for El Jefe Arbusto.
The damage has been done. It will take generations to Americanize them. The solution of Bush and McCain, amnesty and multiculturalism will only delay this Americanization, while also increasing the numbers. That is suicide. It is a devils bargain to gain a few short-term votes at the cost of millions of Democrat voters.

I think if McCain wins the GOP nod, the democrat nominee will automatically win. A choice between a RINO and a real liberal?! People will chose the real liberal every time.
