LAS VEGAS -- Democratic Sen. Barack Obama has begun airing a Spanish-language ad on radio stations in Nevada, introducing himself as a "son of a foreign father," his presidential campaign said Tuesday.
The ad, the campaign's first media buy in the state, emphasizes Obama's religious affiliation, his call for unity and his father's immigrant background.
"As a son of a foreign father who came to this country looking for a better life, Barack Obama learned that differences do not divide, but rather enrich," the ad says. The Illinois senator's father was from Kenya.
