You have to admire the graciousness of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, cutting a PSA for Spanish TV stations that has him talking to the camera with Spanish captions. It’s a thank-you to the Hispanic electorate that turned out in record numbers and voted overwhelmingly for Barack Obama. “Nevada’s Latino community was front and center,” Reid says, “rallying at the polls, helping to decide our nation’s future. Your involvement makes our democracy strong and I thank you for your strong commitment.” What Reid didn’t say in his sincere thank-you to the Latino community was: “I hope that commitment carries over to 2010 when many important races will be on the ballot and I — I mean they — will need your help.” Beautiful.
