Yeah, CASED CLOSED, then, eh?
I would presume you realize McCain and his positions are clearly owned - including the issue of illegals; Palin NOT. Ergo, let's not presume Palin is McCain's political caddy. They already bump heads on a number of positions.
We all hope Palin (whether she runs or not) knows to advocate the constitutional/right thing regarding addressing the illegal squatters.
No one who knows this issue and cares about it can ignore rhetoric that includes phrases like “pathway to citizenship,” and clearly leaves the implication that most of the millions who have crossed our borders illegally are going to be allowed to stay here.
