After all the "up and coming star" hype, the wife and I were not impressed.

His speaking ability reminded me of Dwayne Johnson's character giving his rendition of a motivational speech in the Tooth Fairy.

OTOH - I remember still how Mario Cuomo’s speech to the 1984 Convention had me worried that he would be a force to be reckoned with.

I couldn’t stand to watch the unibrowed idiot with the creepy constant grin for more than five minutes last night.

He looks like he's made out of malleable plastic. I expected him to melt under the lights before our eyes. Something is just not right there.

Still no mention of his dad.

Anyone know who his dad was or is?

It will be much, much harder for them to pull of a “2nd Obama” -— and I am guessing that several of the Hispanic/Latino/Chicano Republicans will rip the bark off of Castro, when the time comes.
