Do Americans for whom Spanish is their primary language talk about politics online anywhere? With yesterday's Univision debate as my spur, I went looking. I'm far from an expert on this, and I'd love some community feedback. But as best as I can tell, the answer is no.

Warning: visiting the front page of Amigos de Obama will cause an enthusiastic reggaeton paean in Spanglish to Barack Obama to start playing and offer you no way to stop it. Which is why I recommend you skip right to the about page, which contains the lyrics (excerpted below) and explains how the words came to the (anonymous?) author in February after having been inspired by the candidate's "authentic" message. Gosh, where do you think he picked up that talking point?

Anyway, the interesting tech angle is that you can also download an MP3 or put the ringtone on your phone.
