Matt Dowd on Hispanic Vote
• "We can't survive as a party without getting more of the Hispanic vote.”
• “Both political parties understand that it's a demographic that is probably one of the most important – you know, who's going to have majority status in this country."
• As a realistic goal, we have to get somewhere between 13 and 15 percent of the black vote and 38 to 40 percent of the Hispanic vote

Oportunidad
BO: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message. • Voiceover:
The cost of a college education is a real worry for many families. But under the Obama Plan a student can earn the first $4,000 of tuition through community service.Putting a college education within everyone's reach. And the Obama Plan offers scholarships to recruit more teachers to make sure our children are ready (smart/prepared).

Ataques (Radio Version) • ANNOUNCER 1: Wow, have you heard the terrible lies that John McCain and the Republicans are
saying about Barack Obama? How horrible. • [ANNOUNCER 2:] Well, it doesn't surprise me. The republicans will say anything to distract the
public from the economy.• [ANNOUNCER 1:] My neighbor - who has 2 kids - lost her job and her health insurance last week.
And her husband, who works in construction, is about to lose his. I don't want to hear any more attacks. I want to know what the candidates will do for us.
• [ANNOUNCER 2:] Well, that's why Barack Obama is my candidate. Instead of continuing George Bush's same failed policies - like John McCain wants to do - Barack Obama understands what our community needs from a President. He has specific ideas to help us.
• [ANNOUNCER 1:] Under Obama, the middle class will receive three times more relief than with McCain. Obama will cut our taxes!
• [ANNOUNCER 2:] And what matters to me is that Obama has a plan to give health insurance to all. My neighbor will be saved!
• [ANNOUNCER 1:]
Barack Obama and the democrats are the change we need.
