The Obama campaign is gearing up to begin outreach to Latin@ voters this week. Obama has already announced that he would be spending $20 million on outreach, and he just released the news that he formed a Latin@ advisory board.

Of course, McCain has reacted with cynicism to the news:

“It’s funny, they announced they’ll spend $20 million reaching out to Hispanic voters but when you go to Florida, the only Spanish ads are by John McCain,” said McCain spokeswoman Hessy Fernandez. “At the end of the day, John McCain doesn’t need an introduction with the Latino community. He has been working for more than two decades on the values, principles and issues Latino voters care about.”

I wonder how the bragging about Spanish language ads will go over with the Republican base that regularly votes to make English the national language?
