Squeal Of Fortuno

It takes about 15 paragraphs to find out why, as with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, that Puerto Rico's young GOP Governor, Luis Fortuno, has no shot at Romney's veep slot.  None whatsoever.  Let's skip the hagiography and get right to the part where Fortuno gets run out of the party if he's even nominally mentioned:

On immigration, Fortuno advocates strong border security, but has also criticized a proposal by some Republicans to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

“I support enforcing our laws, securing our borders and comprehensive immigration reform,” Fortuno said. “We must also promote a respectful dialogue on immigration, because too often, the tone and tenor of the public discourse has been counterproductive and pushes away instead of embracing the Hispanic community.”

And all the GOP base will hear is SHAMNESTY.  See, Republicans don't want a respectful dialogue with the Hispanic community.  They want to deport as many of them as they can and drive off the rest, just like they would with African-Americans (and they're happy to just incarcerate us.)

Naah, Luis here has about as much chance as I do of being the veep for Romney.
