Huh?

Mitt Romney speaks Spanish! His father, George, was born in Colonia Dublán, as a Mormon colony, located in Mexico.

Speaking Spanish did not help Mitt. He won about a quarter of the Hispanic vote.

Issues are more important than language. Farshteyn?

The only thing remarkable is Jeb Bush. Americans are notoriously monolingual unless they are children of immigrants. There are few exceptions (such as Romney, whose multilingualism is a function of being a Mormon).

It should be noted the most of the founding fathers were multilingual. American standards have been slipping.

It should be noted that the multilingual skills of frum Jews are relatively amazing to most Americans.
