Following the results of this self-imposed referendum by the leading proponents of the issue I'd say the Pence Plan now has an excellent chance of moving forward.

How so? The Pence plan is almost identical to the plan put out by Tancredo. Using your logic, wouldn't this be a good thing for proponents of the Senate amnesty?

"The Pence plan is almost identical to the plan put out by Tancredo."

Tell that to Tancredo. He and his people claim that Pence plan is amnesty...just look at his PAC's website. The difference between the Pence plan and Tancredo's plan now becomes one of credibility and after this Utah debacle Tancredo will probably find it very difficult to find sympathetic ears in Congress while Pence will be looked upon anew as a voice of "reason".
