Planting such an idea in their heads is not to say that's the one they cite for their failure to support amnesty. Maybe they say they lost enthusiam for the deal over something else. But the one's already not on board will have another reason not to join, and also don't have to say why.
One thing I've learned out there with the billboard is that alot people don't share their real feelings in public. I'm guessing many legislators and congresspersons are that way as well.
