Romney is a man who fears confrontations of any kind with his base, this was arguably the worst answer he could have given us, and you certainly can't expect Romney to start cruading for us, it's a bit too late too do that. The dems are still opposed and the tea partiers won't budge. This bill still looks at the moment unpassable and until I see House republican congressmen talking of the joys of this bill I will retain that perspective.

You've got it, Romney knows this bill won't even be voted on this year so he can pretty much drone on and on on how much of a moderate he is. It's all going to depend on the supreme court's ruling of SB 1070. If the court upholds it by a measure of 5-3(it all depends on Kennedy), then expect a new wave of state laws mirroring it, and thus any republican strategy similar to Rubio's will be dismissed by the bolstered right flank. If it's denied, then expect the GOP to try to find a middle ground and conflict between the tea party and the moderates. I expect the former situation to take place though.
