If this were just about buying votes, it really doesn't make sense if you go state-by-state: Texas is Bush Country and if California is in play, Bush has already won.

It does according to George will this afternoon on Sean Hanity's radio program

"Due to the tremendous changes in electoral demographics over just the past 4 years, if Bush maintains the same demographic percentages he did in the 2000 election he will loose by 2 million popular votes and will be wiped out in the electoral college"

Apparently Hispandering is a must for Bush.

Far be it from me to argue with Mr. Will, but the polls and the 2002 election results suggest otherwise.

That's only if one doesn't take Bush's overwhelming popularity (mostly due to his success in fighting the WOT) into account. A lot of Independents and moderate Dems who voted for Al Gore in 2000 will be voting for GWB this time around.

Hispandering failed in California. The illegal immigrant drivers license, as Rush pointed out, was unpopular. If it fails in California, how much worse it will backfire across the entire US. There's something more here than vote pandering.

The overwhelming majority of voters are against illegal immigration. Eighty percent of the voters are either conservatives or moderates. GWB is Hispandering for other reasons.
