McCains Hispanic dilemma in Florida radio spot
The McCain campaign runs a Spanish language ad in South Florida featuring Roberto Martin Perez a Castro prisoner released in 1987. It argues Obama would dialogue and resume relations with the dictatorship while McCain demands release of all political prisoners. The piece notes mixed Cuban policy signals from Obama and the ad's aim to win conservative Hispanic votes despite backlash on English speakers and right wing criticisms.
