RE: her new ad, this is from the Palm Beach Post:
Betty Castor took her U.S. Senate campaign directly into Mel Martinez's back yard Monday, airing a new television advertisement on Spanish-language networks in Central Florida.
Castor, the Democratic nominee, began running her first television ad since the Aug. 31 primary on stations in the Tampa Bay and Orlando markets. The ad, which ran in parts of the state before the primary, touts her commitment to veterans and is running in English in the Tampa area and Spanish in the Orlando area.
