The Downside of Immigration Debate for Republicans

Even on Air America when talking about immigration they never talked about the Hispanic vote- Josh Marshall writes today:

.... And exit poll data suggests a big drop off for Republicans among hispanic voters. According to the CNN exit polls, the 2004 spread as 40% for Republicans, 53% for Democrats. This year it was 26% for the GOP and 73% for Democrats.

Holy crap- 20 points in 2 years. That is some major movement.
