The Repubs Worry About A 'Hispanic' Voter Backlash

I would think McCain had better start worrying about how to keep independent conservatives from leaving the GOP. Typically, though, he once again is more concerned with what illegal aliens and their mouthpieces think. Wrong priority and big mistake.

McCain May Keep Latinos From Leaving GOP

For Democrats, 2008 was supposed to be the year of the Mountain West, when three years of relentless Republican attacks on undocumented immigrants would fuel a backlash among Hispanics that would change the playing field in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, and perhaps alter the landscape of presidential politics for a generation.

But the emergence of Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) as the likely standard-bearer for the GOP may have scrambled the equation, cooling a potential political revolt among Hispanics and sending Democrats in search of a new playbook.

"It completely screws it up," said Charles Black, a senior McCain adviser. "We nominated the one person who will not suffer that backlash." [...] Even as McCain moves to heal intraparty wounds on the immigration issue, Democratic community organizers in the West say his past battles with other Republicans over a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants left an imprint on the Latino community that will not quickly fade.

McCain and his team had better get their act together and realize it's independent conservatives he should be concerned about. He can shift his priorities now, or he's going to find out the hard way what we think on November 4th.
