McCain Launches Spanish-Language Campaign Website

Tuesday May 6, 2008
John McCain, the expected Republican presidential nominee, has become the last of the major U.S. presidential candidates to launch a Spanish campaign website.

"Estamos Unidos con McCain," reads the dominant headline on the home page. "¡Mántengamos la esperanza! ¡Mantengamos la unidad! ¡No nos dobleguemos ... ¡ Nunca nos rendiremos! !Estamos Unidos!" Translated: "We Are United with McCain. Let's support hope! Let's support unity! Let's not give up! We'll never surrender! We Are United!"

Other than a blog, McCain's Spanish-language site includes everything you'd expect on a campaign site these days: videos (some in Spanish, some in subtitled English), campaign news, position papers and a means to make donations.

The two leading Democratic candidates, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, have had Spanish-language sites since early in the primary season.

If you have trouble understanding the political terminology on any of the Spanish sites, be sure to check out our Spanish-English glossary of political terms.

(1) Van O. Wright says:

I checked out McCain’s Spanish language website. I was particularly interested in his current views on immigration. But the site’s topic search facility turned up nothing for the keyword “inmigración” and only a May 2007 quotation, in English, for “immigration”.

None of the issue titles for the Spanish website seem to address this major issue either. Strange!?
