Rubio's DREAM, a Political Nightmare

You know what we need after an emotionally-bruising primary?

A new fight over a hot-button issue we thought we'd resolved.

If Rubio really goes ahead with this it will do significant damage to the GOP and Mitt Romney (who will have to pick sides between seeming anti immigrant or the GOP’s enforcement first base. He’ll get no credit if he goes with the former and will be bashed if he sides with the latter).
You know who would love to run on who can be more pro-amnesty than anyone? Barack Obama, that’s who. It beats talking about this economy and especially the part where Hispanic unemployment is running about 3.5% higher than for the general population.

All this damage over a plan that will win no votes and will never see the light of day in the Senate or the House.

Seriously, is Rubio nuts?
