Newt Gingrich has a radio ad up in Florida attacking Mitt Romney. Spanish language ad — not narrated by Gingrich — tells listeners on influential Miami radio stations that Newt is an ally of the Hispanic community. It also hypes a mistake Romney made in 2008 when he repeated one of Fidel Castro’s slogans, a blatant play to Florida’s cuban population. Here’s the Miami Herald’s translation of the ad:

Newt Gingrich is a candidate who has committed himself to the Hispanic people, a Republican in the style of Ronald Reagan with experience. Unlike Mitt Romney, who goes around using Castro phrases, Newt Gingrich fought against the regime alongside Ileana and Lincoln to approve the Helms-Burton law. He supported the creation of Radio and TV Martí and is in favor of prosecuting the Castro brothers for bringing down the Brothers to the Rescue planes. Newt Gingrich has given his word to the Hispanic community in writing and won’t let us down.
