Why John Mcain visits Colombia and Mexico?

Question

Why Mcain visited Guadalupe´s Sanctuary, in Mexico City. what's mean it? Why talked with Felipe Calderón?

Answer 1

because he needs votes form the latin people in the state of Florida

Answer 2

Because there are lots of people of Colombian and Mexican descent in the USA, and he wants them to vote for him. Calderon is popular in Mexico because he is seen as tough on drug gangs, so McCain is hoping some of that popularity will rub off on him. Also, Mexicans revere the Virgin of Guadalupe, so a visit there was mandatory.
