You can see it. You can hear it. You can feel its immense power even though it is still a year away.
The “it,” is the perfect storm brewing against the eventual Democratic nominee for president. A storm being fueled by the dual forces of illegal immigration and the war in Iraq.
With regard to illegal immigration, the debacle in New York State caused by Governor Elliot Spitzer’s insistence on giving illegal aliens a driver’s license seems to have been the proverbial straw that has broken the camel’s back. When asked about Spitzer’s plan during the latest Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton eagerly twisted herself into a pandering pretzel as she tried desperately to be all things to all people. The next day inexplicably saw her “clarify” that answer by declaring that she in fact, supported driver’s licenses for illegal aliens. Goodbye, Mrs. Clinton.
With a year to go before the election, it seems as if the entire United States has suddenly woken up to the growing threat posed by illegal aliens streaming across our borders. Not the least of which of those waking up being moderate Democrats and independents. As evidenced by the 72% of New Yorkers who are against Spitzer’s – and now Hillary’s – plan.

Would that it be true.
Unfortunately there is still plenty of time left for the Republican leadership to resume attacking their base voters on the behalf of the Mexican government and their illegal aliens.
Thanks, I hope it gets around.
BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!
Bttt
You'd think that a guy who writes columns would use proper english.
Dems and Republicans alike are furious, and I don’t see how she can win.
Now maybe Republicans won’t be afraid to back a REAL conservative, like Duncan Hunter, who is THE MOST EFFECTIVE politician at securing our borders, as well as the most conservative on all of the issues, including understanding the China threat!
"The Hillgirl"??? Are you talking about Mrs. Bill Clinton?

My dictionary lists "woken" as the past participle of 'wake'.
What is the error?
Good. That’s where they all deserve to be.
I want to see her hounded with “MOTOR VOTER!” everywhere she goes.
BUMP!
Some dictionaries use “ain’t” as proper too, and “got” is a perfectly proper word that shouldn’t be used in writing (at least according to my long dead English teachers) “awakened” is better than “woken up.”
LOL! Osama may be dead, but Spitzer might give him a driver’s license anyway.
Ping!
Hope this writer MacKinnon is on target.
If so, we owe some credit to Tim Russert(?) who asked the "taboo" question at the 'Rat debate last week.
Exactly. I caught that right away—I was a secretary, you know (LOL).
And all because another sleazy Dem was trying to divert attention from his own scandals. It diverted attention all right, and probably lost him the governorship in 2010. The best thing about it is that Hillary stepped in the same snare.
Do they not remember Californian’s angry reaction to Davis saying illegals could have licenses? Idiots! Of course they want the Mexican vote, so they will do anything!
Also, this is a very simple issue to understand for those who are not terribly political or well informed: it's so basic and commonsense. Usually issues are useless as vote-changers because they're too complex for the voters.
