SCRANTON, Pa. -- During the Republican primaries, John McCain delicately balanced his record of pushing for immigration reform with satisfying his party's new appetite for harsher restrictions. Now in a general election against an opponent who broadly shares his views on the issue, McCain is showing greater ease asserting his distance from the anti-immigration right.

On his Northeastern Pennsylvania trip, McCain pointedly denied coattails to a controversial immigration critic and congressional challenger who has become one of the best Republican prospects for a House pickup in a largely Democratic year.
Lou Barletta, the mayor of nearby Hazleton, became a favorite of the Lou Dobbs set for passing bills to declare English as the town's official language and forbid businesses from hiring or renting to illegal immigrants. Polls have shown him competitive with the district's longtime incumbent Paul Kanjorski, a success local operatives credit to the enduring power of anti-immigration politics in this largely working-class, white-ethnic district.

This is something we have been aware of for some time, McCain’s views on immigration. It’s nothing new really. The Boston Globe is just trying to stir things up.

His speech today at some Irish get together was much the same:
Noted border control then went on to how we need to create a path to citizenship (for illegals) "after meeting some requirements".
He's sure that Palin tied up the conservative vote for him.
Now he thinks it is safe to revert to his anti US pandering.
Time to reconsider a write in;
if he didn't learn from the last time, four more years won't help.

If America isn’t worth protecting with a fence, why are Bush’s, McCain’s and Kennedies estates?

Now he thinks it is safe to revert to his anti US pandering.Folks who think his pick of Palin means he's suddenly seen the light are badly mistaken. If he wins the election, until he dies, she'll spend her time fetching coffee and picking up his shirts from the cleaners.

I suspect that Palin will be the first to go under the bus if McCain get himself in trouble.
