Scott Rasmussen did a poll this week on generic preferences for the 2008 presidential election. The generic Democrat beat the generic Republican 44 to 32 percent. But what’s really interesting is that with a third-party candidate who “promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority,” the Democrat gets 31 percent, the third party 30 percent, and the Republican 21 percent. Now, there are no generic candidates, but maybe someone in the White House ought to reassess the idea that open-borders and amnesty are vote-getters for Republicans.
