    Win or lose, McCain wants immigration reform

    UNION-TRIBUNE EDITORIAL

    Lost Latino luster

    Win or lose, McCain wants immigration reform

    October 22, 2008

    There is something strange going on with John McCain and the support he is generating among Latino voters. That support has been stellar in the past, but now it is on the wane. In fact, if the polls are correct, McCain is about to turn in his worst performance ever with Latinos.

    Sen. McCain received 65 percent of the Latino vote in his 1998 re-election in Arizona, and 70 percent of the Latino vote in 2004. Yet, by all indications, he will be lucky to break 25 percent in the presidential election.

    Of the 10 battleground states typically cited by pundits, four have significant Hispanic populations: Florida, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada. There are signs that the McCain campaign has surrendered in Colorado and New Mexico, and is concentrating on Florida and Nevada.

    A recent Zogby poll of Latino likely voters nationwide found that only 21 percent of Latino voters support McCain, while 70 percent support Barack Obama. A poll by the Pew Hispanic Center found that 23 percent of Latinos support McCain and 66 percent support Obama.

    What went wrong? And, with an estimated 9 million Latinos expected to cast ballots, can McCain turn this around?

    McCain tackled these questions during a phone interview yesterday with The San Diego Union-Tribune. He blamed his slide with Latino voters on a combination of negative campaigning and historical revisionism about what occurred during last year's immigration debate.

    This editorial is wrong on so many levels I do not even have time to strip apart the racist assumptions, mischaracterizations, and patently false information that abounds in this piece of trash.

    McCain remains committed to reigniting the immigration debate, no matter what the outcome of the election.
    The man is obsessed.

    John McCain should have the integrity to resign his Senate seat and focus on the Presidency, just like Bob Dole did in 1996. Just shows that McCain is a walking, talking advertisement for term limits.
