Think about it. If your a Republican, things aren't looking so bad:

1. Gary Condit stays until the election. Reminding everyone how sleazy Dems behave.

2. Janet Reno running for Gov. Florida ('nuff said.).

3. Jesse Jackson trying to divide America racially.

4. Al Sharpton running for President.

5. President Bush swinging a demographic (hispanic vote) that is as large a population as the African-American vote, over to the Republican side.

Disagree about number 5. No way the Republicans can outbid the Demos for the bulk of Hispanic vote. Even Republican strategists were hopeful of getting only 40%. That means 60% for the Dems.

If you believe this, you are a bigger moron than Jesse Jackson!

1)Reagan presided over the LAST amnesty for illegals, and Hispanics still vote DemocRat 2-1.

2)Bush's bending over for Vincente Fox wins him no brownie points with all the Hispanics who are NOT Mexican. His plan to grant amnesty to 3 million illegal Mexicans wins him few brownie points with 18 million LEGAL Mexican immigrants who will watch their wages go down the toilet.

3) Blacks vote at a rate 4X higher than Hispanics. Blacks vote at a higher rate than whites! Based on 2000 turnout, you'd need over 100 million Hispanics to equal the voting power of 39 million blacks.

4)As you should know by now, electoral votes elect presidents, not popular vote. Hispanics are concentrated in Texas and California. Neither promises to be a battleground state.

5) According to most polls, 90% of Americans don't want more immigration. Any Hispanic votes picked up by Bush will more than be negated by the whites that go third party or simply don't vote for RepublicRats anymore.

Bush's sucking-up to his amigo Fox is going to send the RepublicRats the way of the Whigs.

You're dreaming if you think Bush will be able to capture any significant portion of the Hispanic vote (legal or illegal). There's no way they'll vote to stop the gravy train.

Unless the Republican Party becomes as much the gravy train party as the Democrats. That would mean the Socialists versus the Globalists.
