Any House member who votes for amnesty is going to be outsourced in November before the country is. And when House members go back home, they will learn the mood of the American people. Its interesting even a RINO like Chris Shays has come out against McCain's handiwork. There's scant support for it in the House and as House members learn what's in the Senate bill, it is indeed to going to die a death of a thousand cuts. As for Rove's influence, I'm afraid its a case of serious political misjudgment; the President isn't on the ballot but every member of the House is up for re-election and conservative GOP members owe a weakened President nothing, especially when his stand on immigration is opposite to that of the American people. Its the politics, stupid.
