Nathaniel Foote has a great, concise piece detailing the differences between Obama and McCain's Latin American policies.
Foote notes McCain's physical familiarity with the region, having been born in the Panama Canal and traveled considerably around South America. He goes on to say Obama counters his lack of familiarity with new policies that don't only focus on drugs and trade.
Most important to those interested, Foote says, is the perception of Latin American citizens. Many see McCain as a repeat of Bush, while Obama might be harder to deprecate for leaders like Hugo Chavez, who regularly calls Bush things like "donkey."
