Obama outspending Mitt on Latinos 20-to-1

Over on the home page, POLITICO's Robin Bravender takes a look at the Latino vote and what the candidates are doing to court it:

Obama's campaign has spent more than $2 million on Spanish-language television and radio ads since mid-April, according to several sources who track media buys.

That's on top of the $4 million the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action and the Service Employees International Union have committed to spending through the summer on Spanish TV and radio ads hitting Romney in Colorado, Nevada and Florida.

In contrast, Mitt Romney has spent about $110,000 on Spanish-language ads during the general election, sources say... Obama already has a sizable advantage over Romney with Latino voters. A survey in five swing states released June 22 showed Obama leading Romney among Latino voters by 36 percentage points overall across Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Virginia, with the biggest leads in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.
