Sen. John McCain today announced his Spanish-language campaign Web site, www.johnmccain.com/espanol/, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday commemorating an 1862 battle. But it appears news only happens in English — the most recent posting under his news section is from April 16. The English-language site, by contrast, has dozens of news items since April 16
And while the video on the main screen showing McCain’s biographical commercial has Spanish subtitles, clicking on the link “La historia de un gran heroe Americano que esta listo para ser nuestro lider” takes you to an English-language version instead.
The McCain campaign says the Spanish-language site will “feature regular updates in Spanish throughout the election.”"*
