Nothing can deflate the base and keep them at home in November better than the spectacle of Graham and McCain working with the democrats on amnesty in September and calling the base a bunch of racists for not joining them.

There should be a difference in McCain and Graham's behavior this time. (1) McCain is up for election this Fall and did he temper his amnesty commentary during his failed attempt to beat obama. (2) While Graham is not up for reelection, he has presented the appearance of being pissed at obama, the Congress and MSM for not giving his views on health care reform a real voice. (3) The disappointment, frustration and rage of the tea party, the conservatives plus many independents have changed things and, I suspect, will cause many in Congress to alter their viewpoint for this year. TWT.

very smart on the part of the Dems per amnesty if it works that way. Separated the elite leaders from their base. Don't know why Palin campaigned for McCain, if not to burnish her credentials with the Repub elite for a presidential run.
