Traditional Democrats

According to Bill Richardson, in order to win the key states of New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado, Obama must appeal both to Hispanics and to "traditional Democrats".

Well, traditional Democrats do not appreciate being undercut by illegal labour, nor being excluded by official bilingualism, nor the strain on housing and other amenities caused by enormous levels of very rapid immigration.

Hispanics have backed Bush because he has indulged these things, and might back McCain because he would do so. But "traditional Democrats" have backed Bush, and might back McCain, because the Democrats have failed to oppose those same things.
