"Estoy" Ad Leverages Hispanic Heavyweights for Romney

UPDATE: Romney's surrogates seem to be closing the deal for him.  According to a poll, Florida Hispanics now prefer Romney over Gingrich by 15 points - a huge gain in support over 2008.

In a Spanish language radio ad, Mitt Romney is using his support from influential Republican leaders to turn out Hispanic voters in the Florida GOP primary.  Although many Cuban voters have expressed adulation for Newt Gingrich, ads like this could make them think twice before casting their ballots.  

Four years ago, Romney was swamped by John McCain in Dade County and other Latino-rich parts of the state.  Even a modest shift toward Romney among this voting bloc could tip the Primary in his favor.  Listen to "Estoy" and decide for yourself:
