It takes some cojones for John McCain to run a radio ad in New Mexico, with a Latino governor and once presidential rival, claiming that he’s “unidos” with the Latino err Hispanic population. But he went there anyway. Here’s the transcript of the latest Latino targeted ad to come from the Republican presidential hopeful.

ANNCR: When we are buying groceries, we don’t have a political party. When we are filling up the gas tank, we are not Republicans, Democrats or Independents. We are Hispanics, and we all are hurting together in this uncertain economic time. We need someone that has a good economic plan, and that is John McCain. His plan is a realistic plan, not a political one, and it will help jump-start the local and national economies.

He proposed to Congress a federal gas-tax holiday for the summer months. He wants middle-class families to pay less taxes so we can have more money in our pocket and less in Washington. And he wants to help families hurt by the housing crisis under his HOME Plan.

He is optimistic and knows that we all, “unidos,” together, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, can find a better way to fill up our tanks, our shopping carts, and our dreams.

That’s why in (Nevada/New Mexico), “Estamos Unidos con John McCain.”

JOHN MCCAIN: I’m John McCain and I approve this message.

ANNCR: Paid for by John McCain 2008.
