The first Latino ever tapped for the high-profile primetime address, 37-year-old Castro is the youngest mayor of a top-50 American city. Serving a second term after a 2011 reelection with 82.9 percent of the vote, the Stanford and Harvard Law graduate’s biography lists a number of accolades that make it clear he’s an up-and-comer.
The son of a single mother, Castro and his twin brother, Joaquin, who also has a stellar résumé and is running for Congress in Texas, strike the same chords that Barack Obama did when he was selected to keynote the Democratic convention in 2004—that America is a land of opportunity where merit and hard work are rewarded.
Quote:
While most national politicos had never heard of him before Tuesday, Castro has been a co-chair of the Obama campaign, and a campaign aide confirms he has been “a very effective surrogate on the stump

If Hillary was smart, she'd squash him right now before he gets too big.
You know me ... I wanted Hillary but she had her chance.
She would get beat up in 2016 because she is an aging woman.
Not fair really ... older man appears wise and an older woman appears older.
It's a horrible stereotype placed upon woman politicians
... we see younger ones but where are the older ones?

You know how, for about 10 years now, we've been hearing all the late night comedians make fun of how old John McCain is? Well, this elderly woman is only 3 1/2 years younger than McCain:
This would be a great period in time for an Eskimo to come along, God wouldn't it be wonderful to see America's First Eskimo President, I can't go on, just thinking about it is making my eyes water, oh dear God, God Bless Us.

I think it's interesting that the Democrats put diversity front and center. Looking at the history of the world, including Europe, it is clear to me that the more we come to accept our diversity the less likely we are to ever experience the types of problems that the rest of the world has seen. To me, this makes the Democrats a very Christian party in that it really welcomes and accepts everyone, regardless of gender, religion, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. The Democrats have been putting enormous pressure on the Republicans for years to integrate, but as yet that Party has not figured out a way to do.
As far as Hillary goes, I really do hope she runs in 2016. This country will have a hard time voting for a woman--I mean look how underrepresented they are. Look at the attacks that women candidates for office (D and R) in liberal MA experienced. Hillary is that rare woman who might be able to win, and age wears well on women.
I hear Julian Castro is a very effective speaker, but have not actually heard anything yet. The American Hispanic community needs a leader, and maybe he'll take up that mantle.
"President Castro" just won't cut it for the baby-boomer generation. He may as well be named Fidel! Perception is very, very important.
You're right. Look at how often certain types use Obama's middle name, "Hussein," in a way that's meant to disparage Obama. They'd probably do the same with Castro. But, then again, by the time Castro is ready to run for president, many of the people I'm talking about will be deceased.
