Possibility of Obama's Reelection : A USA Today/Gallup Poll tells us that Republicans rank immigration very low as an issue of importance for deciding their 2012 presidential vote. Immigration is low on the list of priorities of voters

.

The media loves controversial human interest stories, so we think that Immigration will be very decisive on election day. But we are wrong. People will vote mainly on Economic Matters and other subjects.

I have many reasons to believe that Obama can be reelected : Bets, Polls, Demography of Minorities, Women, Young People, Educational Levels, Suburbanity, Metro Areas, etc ... Here is another reason : 

It is very easy to herd people to vote on the midterms using Immigration as an emotional issue and preaching against Immigrants. But using anti-Immigrant sentiment on the Presidential Election may get you more enemies than friends inside the voting booth.

Mitt Romney may be wasting his time, paling with such guys as Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Governor Jan Brewer, and Kris Kobach ( the author of several anti-immigrant state laws ).
