"R" You Listening?

In a radio commercial for Judge Violet Otero, Governor Richardson
says "Otero" with a rolled, Spanish "r."
Then the Judge is heard, saying "I'm Violet Otero." And her "Otero" has no Spanish flavor. It's a pure American "r."
I have no idea what this means or tells us. If anything.
