I wonder what you think, Steve of his immigration policy. It seems that he is looking into what is best for the Republicans long-term rather than short-term. Most of their base favours less immigration, but with the Hispanic population expected to surpass the 25% mark in 25 years, the Republicans won't be able to win in the future without doing well amongst Hispanic voters, which I think McCain understands, but many others don't. <BR/><BR/>Besides, with 12 million illegal aliens in the United States, you cannot just kick everyone of them out, so it makes sense to stop those from illegally immigration there but grant amnesty to those who have been there for a while.Monkey Loves to Fighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122291567543761919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-41905588069558980072007-12-17T12:37:00.000-05:002007-12-17T12:37:00.000-05:00Lieberman has endorsed McCain - Lieberman is total...Lieberman has endorsed McCain - Lieberman is totally for the war and totally for attacking Iran - this is frightening.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-49794280989489738562007-12-17T09:35:00.000-05:002007-12-17T09:35:00.000-05:00"Cover story on Edwards on Newsweek.

Your fascination is acceptable. May be the best challenger to Hillary, unless Obama becomes in January the remake the JFK.<BR/><BR/>But, don't you want to see the GOP melt down? I, for one, would love to see Huckabee win Iowa, Florida, and South Carolina and for Tancredo to become the dark horse candidate. Then we get a 40 state victory for the Dems or something weirder on the Presidential campaign trail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
