Nuestro Gobernador

by: Rosi Efthim

El cuidado médico de calidad debe ser un derecho, no un privilegio ... Así piensa nuestro Gobernador Jon Corzine.

La campaña de Jon Corzine tiene un anuncio de televisión en español que se aproxime al tipo de comunicación de la campaña que me gustaría verlos hacer más. Sólo una mujer, un votante, hablando directamente, acerca de por qué está votando por Corzine - por el programa Family Care que proteja a los niños - cerca de 600.000 niños de Nueva Jersey ahora - y lo que significa para ella. Por favor, envíe esto a sus amigos que hablan Español-, y me interesaría saber qué piensa del anuncio.

New Corzine TV Ad: "Nuestro Gobernador y la Educación"

by: Jason Springer

Fri Sep 25, 2009 at 05:50:45 PM EDT

From the Corzine campaign:
In the :30 second ad U. S. Senator Robert Menendez speaks to the Latino community on Governor Corzine's education initiatives and his support for Governor Corzine's re-election in November.

The ad will be on broadcast television across the major New Jersey/NewYork metropolitan area and Philadelphia region.

And here's the ad:

It's interesting, the only words Corzine speaks in the whole ad are, "Senator, come here!" The rest of the ad has Menendez talking in the foreground about education and his support for Corzine, while you see the Governor speaking with a group of people in the background. What do you think? I'll put the script in english below the fold.

Why isn't Chris Christie a Republican in Spanish too?

by: Jason Springer

Mon Jul 20, 2009 at 05:38:00 PM EDT

Dailykos makes this catch in their mid day roundup:
Republican NJ-Gov candidate Chris Christie doesn't seem too interested in letting Spanish-speaking voters know he's a Republican. Compare the English and Spanish versions of his new "Bringing Back Our Cities" web ad. The Spanish one omits the word "Republican" in a couple places where the English one identifies Christie with his party.
Here's the first ad in english.  In the opening 30 seconds, he mentions the fact that he is a Republican twice:

And here is the ad in spanish.  While I'm no expert, I don't hear the word Republican at all:

A viewer of the Spanish version was insulted by the omission and left this comment:
Hablamos diferente idioma, no somos estupidos.
That's exactly right, they may speak a different language, but they're not stupid. So what gives with the Christie campaign and what is their explanation for only being a Republican in English? Maybe it's just like he was only a conservative for the primary too.
