(Reuters) - California's largest public employees union has seized on charges that Meg Whitman knowingly hired an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper, funding a Spanish-language TV spot that calls the Republican nominee for governor a "woman of two faces."

The campaign ad seeks to damage Whitman's standing among Latino voters, a typically Democratic constituency in California that the billionaire and former eBay CEO has aggressively courted in her tight race against Democratic rival Jerry Brown.

"Whitman attacks undocumented workers to win votes, but an undocumented woman worked in her house for nine years," a narrator says in Spanish in the ad, launched by a campaign committee funded by the Service Employees International Union.

"Whitman says one thing in Spanish and something different when she speaks English. The true Whitman has no shame. She is a woman of two faces."

3. !En fin!

Even my plodding Anglo self has heard that NutMeg's Spanish ads have been completely different from the English ones from Day One.

The Spanish ads present her as an actual candidate with policies 'n' stuff, rather than Attila the Nun. :eyes:

4. According to The Census Bureau 37% of Californians are Latinos

In the rest of the country they comprise 15.8%
