Besides Mitt, of course. Mickey Kaus looks into it, and I agree with his conclusions in ranking the other three.
I've become basically a single-issue voter (and this is it), which is why McCain is worse than either Democrat on this issue. He won't have my vote barring a significant change in his position, and I realize that's just not coming:
3) President McCain would seem like a replay of George W. Bush. Bush couldn't get his "comprehensive" immigration plan through, even with a Democratic Congress. What would be different with McCain? Quite a bit. a) McCain's likely to be more popular, at least if Iraq continues to improve; b) The Democrats are likely to have bigger Congressional majorities; c) McCain might be able to claim voter validation of his long-standing pro-legalization views. Certainly the Republicans wouldn't be united against a McCain "comprehensive" bill. Unlike Clinton and Obama, McCain doesn't have ambitious New Dealish health legislation that would compete for his and Congress' time and energy.
