As she expands her political network in advance of an expected presidential run, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband have been cultivating an important ally who some believe could become her vice presidential running mate.
Former president Bill Clinton invited Julian Castro, a former San Antonio mayor and incoming Obama Cabinet secretary, to the Clintons’ home in Washington last week for a private dinner that friends described as a chance for Democratic leaders from different generations to become better acquainted.
Castro, 39, who is scheduled to be sworn in Monday as secretary of housing and urban development, traveled to New York in July to join Hillary Clinton, as well as Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, at a children’s song and dance performance for the Bronx Children’s Museum’s youth arts program.
And in March, Hillary Clinton sat next to Henry Cisneros, who served in her husband’s Cabinet, at a private luncheon in New Mexico, where Cisneros said they discussed Castro and his political future.

Julio Castro! Oh, Julian Castro. Great last name since he’s as big a POS as the ones in Cuba.
San Antonio’s own Mr. La Raza! We’re talking hardcore commies now!!!
Run away Julio, before Hillary starts talking about “Me and Julio, down by the Prisonyard.”
Bad news.
Real bad news. Clinton fraud vote machine goes nuclear, even over zero’s in both elections.
Gowdy, take her OUT!, now!
Hillary makes Colonel Rosa Klebb look like Doris Day.
Julian Castro had horrible approval ratings before he left San Antonio. He couldn’t even be elected mayor of San Antonio again.
His ratings were probably even lower than Obama’s approval ratings. I guess Obama wanted to bring in someone that was thought of less than himself.
Do the RATs and liberal media honestly think its a good idea to put a hispanic candidate on the ticket named “Castro”? Seems about as wise as running a Chinese-American named “Mao” or an Italian-American named “Mussolini”
I’m trying to figure out why they’re in love with this guy.
I’m sure they think it’s brilliant. Of course, the twins aren’t exactly stunning in the looks department. First time I saw them, I thought they had Down’s Syndrome.
Lmao!!
I always thought they looked a little off..
& doesn’t one talk w/a lisp?
I dunno, I just keep thinking I saw them on a very special episode of “Webster” back in the ‘80s...
Is HUD Secretary the place where they stick all Hispanics?
Used to be blacks. When I worked at a federal building for the Veteran’s Administration (as a work/study) many moons ago, all the HUD employees were black. Every single one.
Yeahhhh... THAT'S the ticket!
This is the one I’ve predicted since 2012. Ladies an gentlemen, meet your next vice-president.
Uh, but I don't want to give them a chance to try it.
After two consecutive post-9/11 landslide wins with a "Hussein" at the top of their ticket? Why, yes... they do.
The MSM anointing Castro the next “Obama”: another empty suit affirmative action POTUS.
Payback to La Raza.
Yeah, they and their laraza mommie are real solid. And now this assclown is the head cheese at hud. Guess we know where the illegal er I mean trespassers er I mean MS-13 folks are gonna go to get housing grants. Now, where the hell is my life preserver cause this boat is sinkin’ pretty quick.
