RNC targets Hispanic voters in Southwest

Washington (CNN) - The Republican National Committee is up with a new television commercial in three battleground states that could determine the outcome of next year's presidential election.

The RNC says the ad, which highlights what they call President Barack Obama's "failed economic leadership," begins running Wednesday in Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. The party committee says it's also going up with an accompanying Spanish language radio ad. Hispanic and Latino voters are a major force in all three states and the national unemployment level among Hispanics stands at 11.6 percent.
