#DNC2012: Texas mayor gives spirited keynote DNC speech attacking Romney...

 Mr Castro's tale was in part standard political fare for a party seeking to solidify its standing among immigrant voters.
Raised by a single mother born in the U.S. and a grandmother who had emigrated from Mexico, Mr Castro and his identical twin brother Joaquin achieved happiness and success through hard work and a good education made possible by the American dream.

But from there, he pivoted to an assault on Republican Mr Romney, whose policies Mr Castro said would 'dismantle' the middle-class if elected.
He said: 'We know that in our free market economy some will prosper more than others. What we don't accept is the idea that some folks won't even get a chance.
'And the thing is, Mitt Romney and the Republican party are perfectly comfortable with that America.'
