James Talarico:

James Talarico has charisma. Tonight as he spoke in San Antonio, I listened but I also was observant of the crowd.
Many were young(under30) & enthusiastic.
He is inspiring young people in the same way 50-60 yrs ago
Bobby Kennedy & Jimmy Carter did.
He is the face of Texas future.

But so far, I do like what I see.

This grandma will be watching to see how far he might be able to go.

In fact, he is an experienced legislator, a thoughtful man, and a man of principle. He is practical, articulate, and courageous. He is not afraid to confront the issues and dung storm the Rethugs will try to throw at him. A politician with backbone and morals is something we have all hungered for for so long. He is not a savior, but he is definitely lighting the way for future politicians and VOTERS to take Texas back.
