Could Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric Cost The GOP The Election?

Ruy Teixeira keeps his eyes on the Hispanic vote:

If Hispanic support for the President winds up as strong as it now appears and their turnout holds up—giving Obama at least 75 percent of what should be around 28 percent of the entire vote—the benefits to the Obama campaign would be huge. Crucially, it would give him considerable leeway to lose white support but still win the popular vote. In fact, my estimates indicate that Obama, with this level of minority support, could do just as badly as John Kerry did with the white working class (a 23 point deficit) and white college graduates (an 11 point deficit) and still defeat his opponent.

Meanwhile, Adam Serwer explains that Romney is not fooling anyone with his toned-down approach to immigration in Florida.
