I'm watching Julian Castro on CNN. He's impressive!

He announced his candidacy in English and Spanish in front of a festive crowd from San Antonio's West Side. He talked about his family history, immigration, and his accomplishments as mayor of San Antonio.

He's dynamic and his speaking style reminds me of Obama.

I really like him!

At time he sounded literally like president Obama. Not just his delivery or message but also his voice inflection.
