ABC's Jake Tapper takes the Obama campaign to task for its latest Spanish language ad. The gist of the piece is that McCain is not nearly as anti-immigration as the right wing radio host. The article admits that McCain has flip-flopped on immigration reform, but that his positions aren't as extreme as his party.

I'm not sure I agree with Tapper since McCain has been courting the Limbaughs and the anti-immigrant wing of his party. My personal view is that Obama just needs to keep reminding Hispanic voters that McCain walked away from him when the heat was turned up.  But even if he's right, there's no need to try and link McCain to wackos on the right to make this point.
