Hispanics Democratic in primaries, GOP alienating?

Hispanic voters have turned out in force for Democratic candidates for president in the primary elections this year, an advocacy group notes — with a warning that the Republican Party’s anti-immigraition faction is posing a problem for the party’s nominee.

The irony of that statement, of course, is that Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, was among the most fervent supporters of a “comprehensive” solution to the illegal immigration problem that includes enabling undocumented workers already living in the United States to seek a path to citizenship. And McCain’s stance has caused him problems among that conservative faction in his party that opposes any “amnesty.””*
