Minorities, led by a booming Hispanic population, could make up about 40 per cent of the state’s voters. Clinton asked Obama on Friday to denounce Spanish-language radio ads accusing her of disrespecting Hispanics.
The ads, run by a union backing Obama, were “shameless and offensive,” she said. The Obama camp said it had no control over the ads and discouraged outside ad campaigns.
Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black US President, will head to Atlanta after the Nevada vote to appear at King’s home church on Sunday.
