Obama Spanish-language Radio Ad + McCain Hispanic Outreach

I'm in a Politics Magazine online piece today about ethnic targeting in the presidential campaign. And I'm quoted in tomorrow's Washington Times article that reports on a new Spanish-language radio ad put out today by the Obama campaign. MSNBC distributed the transcript of the Obama ad around noon today. And click here for the audio from the Obama campaign's Latino section from its web page.

In related news, today in DC I bumped into Juan Hernandez the well-publicized volunteer Hispanic outreach coordinator for the McCain campaign today. I joked with him that Newsweek should have its reporters walk around with me to save them trouble of trying to reach him by phone. Click the link. It'll make more sense.

And in other news, Texas Governor Rick Perry has appointed a friend and colleague of mine Hope Andrade to be Secretary of State for the State of Texas. Congratulations Hope! This is a towering accomplishment. She has become the first Latina to hold this important position. Hope will be the State's chief elections officer, among many other important duties.
