More dividends from the new regime

Looks like the Dems will scuttle the "Border Fence." Hooray, my bet is that most Republicans are glad too. The fence just seemed like more like a "get out the vote" move than a practical solution to illegal immigration. As a quick side note, it seems that this particular issue never caught fire. Not only was immigration not a big factor among voters, moderates (or those who favor a comprehensive solution, like W - a former border state governor) did much better in close elections than the radicals.

The problem with the GOP's wedge issue politics is the same as the Dems "we're not Republican's" strategy. Neither does anything. At some point the electorate wants action, at some point people just get emotionally drained, at some point you miss, or the other ceases failing, and at some point people just tune out until you deliver.

I think the GOP understands that now, I wonder if the Dem's have figured it out too?
