Spanish Ad From Obama Camp

18:49 H | Topics: US Presidential Race 2008

I'm a bit older than many people, and as such, I grew up in a time when the thought of politicians reaching out to voters on the issue of women getting equal pay for equal work or critiquing the Spanish outreach of another's campaign was outrageous--or even grounds to lose an election.

And yet here we are in the year 2008, and such things *are* happening on a national stage at that. Here is the latest from the Obama camp:

For those of you who are like me and only got the "Soy Barack Obama" part, basically, what the ad is arguing is that the McCain campain has "two faces." One they represent to Latin@s and one they represent to non-Latin@s. As such, he can't be trusted, because what really is his message?

Ed O'Keefe at Washington Post gives the lowdown specifics on the video. I would ask you what you think, but comments aren't working today, so you can't tell me! Keep your thoughts in mind, so you can tell us all tomorrow!
