That’s certainly what Democrats hope will happen. Democrats can’t pass immigration legislation — even the less controversial DREAM Act — without Republican support. In Colorado, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, a Democrat, says voters are ready for comprehensive immigration reform this session, which the DREAM Act can be a part of.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), at least, seems to think there is a possibility of McCain shifting back to the center after his primary: “I think once we get past the Arizona GOP primary that sparked the recent anti-immigration reform eruption, we will have a chance of getting some of the Republicans in the Senate to also come forward and work with Democrats to get a bill passed,” Gutierrez said in July.

If McCain does return to more moderate views on immigration, the path of fellow Republican Meg Whitman could serve as an example. Though she has a less complicated past on immigration, Whitman, who is running for California governor, shifted from claiming to be “tough as nails” on immigration during her primary to splitting with her party on Arizona’s immigration law. Part of her shift could be a play for Latino voters — Whitman began running Spanish-language ads and other outreach to Latinos after her primary.

McCain could do the same — Latinos make up about 30 percent of Arizona’s population. But Whitman also shows some of the pitfalls to shifting viewpoints on immigration: some members of the GOP are concerned she is not conservative enough, the Los Angeles Times reported today:

No, McCain hates hispanics now because they voted against him in 2008.

A democrat? In middle of the republican shitstorm? Lets be serious now...

Even if McCain were to yell "PAPERS FOR ALL" after he won the primary the AZ population would still not vote democratic (even for a Byrd-like democrat). I think its the time for obama to stop petting the retardicans and pick up this heavy jackhammer called "filibuster reform"
