4. According to this:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/17/weekinreview/17basicA.html?ex=1339732800&en=21e3cf7a98159947&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

Richardson, Gravel and Romney speak French.

Obama speaks Indonesian.

Dodd and Paul (and Richardson, who is not on the above list) speak Spanish, and Obama, Kucinich and Brownback also have some Spanish.
