McCain ad targets Hispanics in Nevada and New Mexico





LAS VEGAS (AP) -- John McCain's presidential campaign says it's airing ads targeting Hispanic voters in Nevada and New Mexico.

The 60-second radio commercial highlights the likely Republican nominee's proposals for a gas-tax holiday and housing recovery plan.

It calls his economic package "a realistic plan, not a political one."

The campaign says it began running the spot Tuesday on Spanish-language radio in the two states.

The ads are the first general election commercials to air in Nevada, and among the first in New Mexico. The states are expected to be a battlegrounds in November.
