Actually the funnest single thing about the coming years is that Republicans can't afford to either reject or permit the citizenship pathway (and Puerto Rican statehood), given the substantial overall liberal tendency of Hispanics on every issue but abortion. Republicans will have to moderate to the Bob Dole point on most other issues if they want to stay nationally viable, but the very 2nd Life-ish funworld they've painstakingly created over the years seems likely to make that course correction crazily difficult. To me it looks impossible, but this is a hydraulic matter so ways will be found - they're not going to let North Carolina, then Arizona and Indiana, then Georgia and Texas flip. They'll have to change into whatever will stop that from happening, in the long run. But meanwhile, amazingly, we may have reached a point where the Fox fuckery is inadvertently helping us.
