Hola from Senor Senator McCain

By Ken Herman | Monday, May 5, 2008, 10:27 AM

Here’s what GOP presidential candidate John McCain has to say about CInco de Mayo, which is being celebrated today:

“Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico’s path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy.”

And here’s the new Spanish-language website the McCain campaign launched today somewhat later than other candidates went up with such sites.
