Mitt Romney Unveils New Spanish-Language Ad In Florida

Mitt Romney‘s campaign is looking forward beyond South Carolina and straight down to The Sunshine State. In an effort to court Florida’s Spanish-speaking contingency — particularly, it would appear, Miami’s Cuban population — Romney’s new ad features Cuban-born politicians Mario Díaz-Balart, Lincoln Díaz-Balart, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, as well as Romney’s son, Craig, all speaking entirely in Spanish.

Narrated by Craig, the ad touts his father’s commitment to American values. Here’s the translation:

The United States represents liberty, opportunity, [a place] where anything is possible. I am Craig Romney. My father, Mitt Romney, believes in those American values because he has lived them and will fight to restore the greatness of our nation.

Romney himself closes the ad by sharing that “Soy Mitt Romney y apruebo este mensaje. Muchas gracias.”

As The Tampa Bay Times and The Miami Herald are reporting today, Quinnipiac University’s latest poll shoes that, if the election were to be held right now, Romney would garner 46 percent of the Florida vote to President Barack Obama‘s 43 percent.
