Obama Continues On-Air Latino Outreach

By Ed O'Keefe


The Obama campaign continues its recent radio and television ad campaigns in several states where it believes Latino voters could help secure a Democratic victory. The new messages focus on early voting, education and health care.

"Oportunidad" or "Opportunity" is a positive television spot about Obama's college education plans that will air in Colorado, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico:

"The cost of a college education is a real worry for many families. But under the Obama Plan a student can earn the first $4,000 of tuition through community service. Putting a college education within everyone's reach. And the Obama Plan offers scholarships to recruit more teachers to make sure our children are ready prepared. With Obama and the Democrats, a new opportunity."

The campaign's new radio ad stars a man and woman upset with the McCain campaign's attack ads and discussing Obama's "specific" plans for health care coverage and tax cuts.

"My neighbor -- who has 2 kids -- lost her job and her health insurance last week," the woman in the ad says. "And her husband, who works in construction, is about to lose his. I don't want to hear any more attacks. I want to know what the candidates will do for us."

This ad will air on Spanish radio stations in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Northern Florida. A different version will air in South Florida.

4. McCain/Palin - Are They Targeting Latinos Or Questioning Whether They Are Real Americans?

The GOP message is so confusing: Get out! But vote for us!
