LAS VEGAS — In a state where nearly a quarter of the residents are Hispanic, the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama unveiled two new television ads that will run in Spanish.

The campaign said a 60-second ad called “Hope” and and a 30-second ad called “Something is Happening” will run concurrently in the state in advance of Saturday’s Nevada caucuses.

The ads are the campaign’s first Spanish-language television ads to run in Nevada, although it has run Spanish ads on radio across the state.
