McCain's Loss

Don't be fooled.  Brian Bilbray won yesterday because that election was another referendum on illegal immigration.  Two significant events occurred within days of the vote: 1. John McCain withdrew from a fundraiser for Bilbray over his disagreement with Bilbray's pro-enforcement position; and 2. Bilbray's opponent was caught encouraging illegal aliens to vote.  The pattern is clear: The electorate, and certainly Republicans, oppose the open-borders crowd.  And every time the issue is before the voters, enforcement wins.  This is another loss for McCain and his 2008 prospects.
