It looks as the the immigration issues may save the GOP. George Will summed it up very well in his recent column:
"Many Republicans, looking for any silver lining in an abundance of dark clouds, think the immigration issue might be a silver bullet that will slay their current vulnerability. The issue is, as political people say, a "two-fer." Opposition to the Senate bill, and support for the House bill, puts Republican candidates where much of the country and most of their party's base currently is — approximately: "Fix the border; then maybe we can talk about other things." And opposition to the Senate bill distances them from a president who, although rebounding recently, has approval ratings below 40 percent in 29 states."
Nothing like a wedge issue to change ones political fortunes.
