While we were all talking about the Richardson-Clinton drama, John McCain started running Spanish language ads in New Mexico. According to the Huffington Post, McCain is making all the right moves and Dems should be concerned.

But the real reason that Democrats should worry is that the GOP presidential campaign seems to know the issues that resonate with Latino voters. McCain press secretary Brooke Buchanan recently said about her candidates Latino outreach: "His positions on issues like education, the economy and others resonate with Hispanic voters and we continue to ask for their vote and we will campaign aggressively for it." Education and the economy are key issues for Latino voters and have been for as long as Latinos have been polled. McCain knows it. Do Democrats?

McCain's military career is also a plus for Latino voters, and he appears to be pretty popular with the constituency. McCain owes his huge Florida win to Republican Latino voters who made up 12% of the turnout and picked him by wide margins in that state.
