Latinos need to see a quick end to the Republican congressional jihad on immigration. That shouldn't be a hard lesson for the GOP to learn; every 2008 presidential-primary candidate who went for the cheap applause of the anti-immigration right couldn't win even the Iowa caucus, let alone the nomination. Instead, the GOP should support practical immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship. Republicans should differentiate themselves from the left by heating up the lukewarm American melting pot with a firm insistence on learning English and a rejection of the silly excesses of identity politics. A smart GOP would be deeply in the microloan and free-English-lessons business in immigrant communities. Illegal immigrants can't vote. Their children will.

One of the best articles I've read in a long time.

There's only a handful of Republican strategists that I actually respect, and Mike Murphy is one of them.

I think that if McCain hadn't fired him in the middle of the campaign, the race would have been much tighter - and the way he graciously walked away quietly even after the public embarrassment of being fired by one of his best friends was something of a rarity in politics.
