Latino Vote | VivirLatino

Barack Obama released an ad with him looking straight at you, Spanish speaking Latinos, and he’s speaking in your language, Spanish. Apparently this as is supposed to appeal to our emotional side, and while his pronunciation isn’t too bad, the ad has as much emotion as a rock.

With two weeks before elections day, the focus on key voting blocs intensifies, and Latino voters represent part of that. Much of the attention to the Latino vote and Latino issues (because we don’t want the same things that other voters want like a better economy, health care, apparently)is happening in Spanish and through the Spanish language media (because apparently we all speak Spanish).

Los Angeles’ La Opinión and New York’s El Diario/La Prensa, two of the nation’s oldest Spanish-language dailies, made public their endorsements of the Democratic candidate on Friday.

As both presidential candidates take their immigration talk to Spanish only ads, it seems that John McCain’s numbers are taking the biggest hit when it comes to that oh so coveted “Latino vote”.

Polls show Obama winning the broadest support from Latino voters of any Democrat in a decade, while McCain is struggling to reach 30 percent, closer to Senator Bob Dole’s dismal 1996 result than to Bush’s historic 40% four years ago.

Some blame McCain’s lack of ties in the Latino community, others point to his flip-flopping on immigration reform and speaking out of both sides of his mouth depending on the audience.

What neither candidate is talking about is the raids that keep happening behind the spotlight of debates and conventions.

While in English language debates, Obama will not mention the word immigration, his campaign has no problem dropping the word in Spanish language ads (apparently English speaking Latinos don’t care or aren’t interested in immigration?).

The following Spanish-language ad starts to air today in Colorado.

New Spanish McCain Attack Ad Links Hugo Chavez and Obama

The above ad, released late last week by the McCain camp, is supposed to appeal to Latinos.

The McCain campaign said Hispanic voters are particularly open to the message because many of them are immigrants who came to the U.S. seeking to escape the sort of political tactics Mr. Chavez employs.

“They come to American for freedom, and yet Senator Obama seems overly willing to deal with a tin-pot dictator,” McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said.
