Desperation - Romney’s Fla. ads tie Obama to Chavez, Castro

Mitt Romney’s campaign is running a Spanish-language ad in Florida that claims Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro’s niece would support President Barack Obama.

The spot shows a clip of Chavez saying that if he were American, “I’d vote for Obama.” The Venezuelan leader did say that in September, when he also called Obama “a good guy.”…..

……There’s a similar clip featuring Castro’s niece, Mariela, who has no official link to the Cuban government. She’s a noted advocate of gay rights and has praised Obama’s stand in support of same sex marriage.
