Of the major-party candidates, neither speaks Spanish. But Obama has produced this video. His accent is quite good for someone who doesn't speak Spanish — he obviously has been coached well. It's nothing like the embarrassing video by Newt Gingrich a few years ago. It's not surprising that the video, to quote YouTube, "has been removed by the user."
Election results this evening will be available in Spanish on at least three television networks: CNN en Español, Telemundo and Univision.
