But unless the Bush administration wakes up to the electoral impact of continuing immigration, the most the GOP can hope for is to slow the pace of its decline.

The only two things keeping Bush as the favorite, one is the histrionics over terrorism keeps his white base in line, and second, Democratic ineptness at overcoming Rove's triangulation strategies. If Rove is successful then Bush wins over a demo stiff because the only thing the Dems have now is race hatred because Bush has done a Pataki and taken the left's issues for his own. My guess is that the Dems capitualate because if they go for the race hatred angle they are pretty close to bringing catastrophe upon this country.
