Remember the Republican Primaries and how "the border" was THE BIGGEST ISSUE?
Did they drop that like a hot rock or WHAT! I haven't heard either McLame or Moosie utter word one about "building the wall" or any of it, but I think we get to thank Duncan Hunter and a lot of the primary Crazy Talk for putting a lot of Latino voters in the SW in the Dem camp!

1. That and drilling for oil
Both of which I thought were going to be huge issues they would use to defeat Dems. So glad to be wrong.

2. I think they realized that the people who talked about "building the wall"
were fanning the anti-Hispanic nuts; so that anyone Hispanic (legally here or not) was feeling the flame of the hatred.

The aftershock of this is that the Republicans have been hemorrhaging Hispancs. Funny thing: when you rage against a people, they stop liking you.

3. All the "illegal aliens" went home because they couldn't find any work up here
No, seriously. Thanks to the Bush Economic Meltdown, it was easier for them to find work in Mexico.
