PHOENIX — While Democrats launched their convention in Denver, Sen. John McCain scooped up the endorsement of Daddy Yankee, the reggaeton star popular with young people and Latinos. At Central High School in Phoenix, McCain visited with students and urged them to vote, noting “this is a tough presidential campaign we’re in.” “I brought a special friend, a great American success story,” McCain told the students. “He’s from Puerto Rico, married 15 years, and has children ages 14, 12 and 10.
“One of his songs I know you’re familiar with: “Gasolina.” Oohs and aahs of disbelief greeted McCain’s announcement as he said, “There he is, Daddy Yankee!”
Later, McCain flew to California for a star turn on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
