Even if Nelson doesn’t learn Spanish, he should at least have it on his damn website
I just can't help but read these little things as symbolic of his campaign in general. How is a 3 term incumbent Senator from Florida this inept regarding Latino voter outreach? We're talking about real basic things here too.
Seriously, Florida Democrats suck. I hate this godforsaken state.
Hell, how is his
staff and campaign that inept? It's one thing for a 75 year-old white man to not speak Spanish. It's even understandable that Nelson's not naturally comfortable in Spanish-speaking situations or well-versed on issues of Latino advocacy when it has never been integral to his victories (until
very recently, in Florida, Latino = Cuban = GOP).
His campaign staff, however, doesn't have such excuses. In 2012, Florida was the one and only state where Latino turnout/support actually made the difference between an Obama win and a Romney win.
