Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican — or whether or not you even speak Spanish — you've got to admit that this is pretty cool: On Thursday, Oct. 30, Republican Rep. Mike Coffman and Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff will take part in what is believed to be the first-ever Spanish-language political debate (for a major office) in Colorado.
Univision will air the debate live at 5:00 on Thursday. Romanoff is fluent in Spanish, and Coffman has been feverishly working to learn the language over the last year or two. It should be interesting.
Kudos to Mi Familia Vota, Noticas Colorado, and everyone involved with making this debate happen.

Me imagino que la fiesta del té de Coffman está perdiendo su mente sobre esto. Inglés, la gente. Inglés !! ¿Y ahora qué? Una licencia de conducir para todo el mundo? Sueño Ley? Romanoff brillará como un faro en la noche en un ambiente como este.
sí, va a ser divertido !
Oh, Lord, this is so not gonna end well for MC Bird Brain.
Que lastima! Pobrecito!
¿No Bueno? Y, no mas!
Has anyone told Señor Tanchez that his former protege is gonna' be talkin' furiner? Lawdy, what done be happenin' in this crazy world?
Mikey can barely communicate coherently and above a weak, scratchy, confidence-lacking babble en Inglés! What is he going to come off like trying to lie, dodge, weave, divert and obfuscate en malo, roto Español?
Como se dice, "I mispoke and I apologize"?
"Yo mispoke y me disculpo."
Before the night's over, I figure he'll probably wind up uttering something like, "No no — I DID NOT mean to say that your mother is a disgusting warthog who shaves scrotums for a living!"
Again — Esta no será bonito.
I'm just imagining that Sr. Coffman will give that crowd a truly memorable broken-english Ricky Ricardo impersonation!
Me gustaría responder a esta pregunta por haciendo flexiones.
