Obama in Spanish
Michelle links to a 30 second TV ad Obama did entirely in Spanish. That accent is not too shabby.

On the accent, agreed. very impressive; much better than mine, although my Portuguese accent is pretty good - so I've been told.
The Obama campaign has been running some really solid ads in Spanish media markets. They come in two types...- generic ad extolling Obama, the second hammering at McCain with the basic McCain=Bush message.
Here in Miami they have been hammering away at McCain on all the Spanish TV channels.. The difference in airtime b/w the campaigns is huge. Top it off, the McCain ads are terrible.
