Here is where the election will actually be lost for Republicans. After having courted the tea party with a line of talk that began as opposition to illegal immigration and ended up being something closer to nativism and dog whistles to racists, the party has aliented itself deeply from what is becoming the true prize of any election.
Romney was the aggressor in the second debate in four days Thursday night, pressing Gingrich to apologize for an ad labeling him as anti-immigrant and calling the idea "repulsive."
Both men arranged for appearances Friday in Miami with the Hispanic Leadership Network on the day after the debate. The state has roughly 1.5 million Hispanic voters, who figure to play prominently in next Tuesday's Florida primary.
