Now the Wall Street Journal picks up the theme. Words are nice. But if you can't control the vitriol coming from the Tea Party wing and actually work with Dems on immigration reform, you're not going to reverse the damage.

In short, conservative Hispanics still perceive the GOP as anti-them. And PR campaigns aren't going to fix that problem. But promoting pro-immigration candidates, as some groups mentioned in the article are doing, is a hopeful sign.

"All of these things may be the only good thing that the dems have going for them going into the 2010 elections, as the republicans may look to much in disarray to become an alternative. May the dems will do CIR or some sort of piece meal thing as that seem to be the only stuff that is able to pass these days."

The easy passage of the Jobs bill in the Senate was also surprising and with 5 GOPs voting for it (including Scott Brown).

It may have been surprising to the all or nothing ( a.k.a. comprehensive reform) brigade (that includes Obama). When politicians are forced to make a clear stand on policies that are popular, they usually make the correct choice.

Finally, some Democrats realized that their immediate political future was more important than Obama's lasting legacy and they revolted against yet another flawed comprehensive bill.
