Remember Wednesday night’s GOP debate in Mesa, Arizona, where the Republican candidates proclaimed that Arizona and its extremist SB 1070 anti-immigrant law was a model for the country?  We said that “modeling America’s immigration policy on the failed experiment in Arizona is a guaranteed pathway to failure for the GOP… As Republican candidates continue to shove their hand in the face of Latino voters, they can kiss their chances of winning the general election goodbye.”  And it looks like commentators from across the blogosphere agree: the GOP is basically doing its best to repudiate any Hispanic interest in voting Republican, and the Mesa debate is only one more example in a long line of these examples.
