I haven't seen the ads myself, so I don't know. The press
release sort of implies that he speaks, but the only voice
quoted is an announcer. So we'll have to wait until they
appear on the site.

I'm going to guess that he will speak, but only a few very
carefully enunciated words.

I hope they have a translation on the web site for the gringos
among us - it would be a real pity if we couldn't understand
the commercials!

From an article today:
Simon woos Latinos with ads in Spanish

Simon's ads, airing on Spanish television, cable and radio, criticize Davis, a Democrat, for failing to improve schools. They say that Simon, a Republican, will do a better job.

At the end of the television ad, Simon looks into the camera and says in Spanish, ``The future of California depends on our children -- yours and mine.''

The ads are aimed at the large Latino audience that is tuning in to World Cup soccer.
