McCain, Obama Court Latino Vote

Both John McCain and Barack Obama spoke at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. McCain's speech was interrupted by an anti-war protester. He warmed to the crowd most by talking about immigration reform.

The respectful reception McCain got was followed by a far more raucous one for Obama, and Obama's first words were in Spanish. Unlike McCain, Obama directly appealed for the audience's support.
