[Theodore R.]

G.W.'s Hispanic policy -- largely the work of the Virginian Karl Rove -- has not yet been unraveled. It never truly existed. But in that G.W. thinks that his policy is still successfully intact, it does still exist in the questionable mind of the ailing Republican Party. G.W. will in time be like Richard III of England. Instead of saying "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse," G.W. will say: "But my policy! My policy! Why didn't the Hispanics vote like Karl said they would!" G.W. will never figure out what happened. He'll look like GHWB did in 1980, when he lost the NH primary to Reagan and could not figure out what had happened. But it was the "microphone," GHWB.

"G.W.'s Hispanic policy -- largely the work of the Virginian Karl Rove -- has not yet been unraveled."

Then it sure will in 2004 - because if even a tiny fraction of the about-3/4 of voting-age Americans who are European-American are alienated by "amnesty" into either voting for protest presidential candidates or just not voting for president, Bush can win the entire Hispanic vote and still lose in 2004. That's simple math - because European-Americans outnumber Hispanic-Americans so much.

Many European-Americans here in Red Nation - in states where Bush won overwhelmingly - are alienated by Bush's push for "amnesty." He cannot afford to lose even one county of Red Nation in 2004 if he wants to be reelected.
