Immigration rallies haven't yielded voters

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Immigration protests that drew hundreds of thousands of flag-waving demonstrators to the nation's streets last spring promised a potent political legacy -- a surge of new Hispanic voters.

''Today We March, Tomorrow We Vote,'' they proclaimed.

But a review of voter registration figures from Chicago, Denver, Houston, Atlanta and other cities that had large rallies found no sign of a new voter boom that could sway elections. There was a rise in Los Angeles, where 500,000 protested in March, but it was more of a trickle than a torrent.

The Republicans in the Senate really aren't profiles in courage.Remember what the late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley said,"those who don't vote don't count".
