Yes, you can try to appeal to the religious right by citing Hispanic social conservatism. But that's not what really motivates the base to vote. They tend to vote against people and things: against terrorists, against gays, against Hollywood, against liberals, against immigrants. This is the base Bush has built; and it is a hard one to build a progressive, inclusive immigration policy on top of.

Much as they like to say it about liberals, that base is basically the hate vote. Maybe they're pro- going to Heaven, but it's anti- everything else. I don't see how the two go together - Christian cosmology has always been funny that way.
