After Spitzer recently campaigned in Buffalo for the Erie County Democratic ticket, the entire slate's poll numbers slumped. The Democratic candidate for Erie County Executive now trails by 7-points and the Democratic County Clerk, who initially endorsed the Spitzer plan, had to reverse herself to stop a free-fall in the polls. And this is happening in heavily Democratic Buffalo.

As for Hillary's licensing fumble at the debate----it will definitely be exploited by the GOP. A Republican strategist was jumping up and down with joy: "Licensing is an 80-20 issue for us and they're walking right into it." That would be "80-20" as in 80% of Americans oppose it.

Anti-illegal is a rare consensus issue in politics.

As the strategist said: “ "The vast majority of Americans are against this - especially among likely voters.“

Amazingly----in Democratic strongholds such as New York and California------one pollster said voters oppose such plans by 75%. .

Hillary's 24/7 hyphenate pander is reaching back to bite her presidential ambitions.

Clinton voted 10 times so far this year in favor of any and all illegal immigration measures.

She's gonna rue the day she posed for that pic.

Keep in mind, the Clintons are adept at reinventing themselves--Hillary will probably renounce her American citizenship, move to Mexico, swim across the border, and apply for a US driver's license.

The Republicans could sweep the House, Senate, and the Oval Office if the Republicans would embrace the illegal issue in earnestness. This lone issue would destroy every democrat who has ever supported illegals and the Republicans could remove the rinos as well. A Win Win Winning issue.

[From One - Many]

The Republicans must give tremendous amounts of lip service to this issue. Then once elections are Won, the Republicans would need to act and act decisively. This could be the deciding issue of this election, especially if National Security is coupled with the illegal issue, as actually is the case in the real world.

Hillary is clearly on record as supporting Spitzer now, even though she tried to obfuscate at the debate. Since Edwards and Obama are for it, she has to match them, but she will pay dearly in the general election for this. There are some issues you just can’t straddle the fence on.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

In Nassau County, Republican Joseph Belesi has been hammering Democratic incumbent David Mejas in a county legislative race for refusing to take a stand on the Democratic governor's licensing plan.

Mejas is refusing to take a stand because he no doubts supports it. A win for Belesi against the incumbent would be huge and might send a message to the lawbreaker pandering democrats that November 2008 will be here before you know it.

What makes you think these people care about the views of the public? There are latino votes at stake. They only care about holding on to their offices.

Im off to the pols right now, and every lever I pull will be a vote against those two

[Plutarch]

Hillary's licensing fumble at the debate----it will definitely be exploited by the GOP.

It would be difficult for the Amnesty loving Giuliani, McCain and Huckabee to exploit the issue.

This happened this past spring...

And has the Dims tied in knots. IMHO, illegal voting under falsified DL’s has been a key Democratic electoral strategy for DECADES...and the proof of this is Spitzer’s and Bill Clinton’s wife prostrating themselves over trying to grant illegals a valid DL.
