Another 'tell' of Rethuglican panic

Just saw the latest of Rove's despicable 'Crossroads America's ads targeted to Latinos on Univision News (the largest Spanish language TV channel) tonight. It's the standard spiel with a Hispanic lady bitching about how Obama has been so mean to the indocumented immigrants that he actually deported some of them - Horrors! - but the best comes at the end. There's no plea to 'Vote for Mitt Rmoney'. In fact Rmoney and the Rethuglican party aren't mentioned at all. Instead, the money shot is the legend (in Spanish) "DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA"

Shows real confidence in their candidate, don't you agree? The best that Rove and his fellow sewer rats can try to hope for is that they can get some Latino voters to not vote at all. Now, if that's not a winning message I don't know what is

is not vote for Romney, but rather, don't vote. They're actively trying to depress the Latino vote.
