Happening Now: Obama seizes 'defining moment'
Candidate makes first Valley stop

EDINBURG -- The crowd cried out "We love you!" and the candidate said, "I love you back."

About 5,000 supporters showed their love for Sen. Barack Obama Friday during the Democratic presidential hopeful's first visit to the Rio Grande Valley.

Tuition assistance, affordable health care and comprehensive immigration reform were popular themes of Obama's speech in Edinburg.

His position on border security, discussed about halfway through his address to an estimated 5,000 supporters, drew loud cheers.

"We cannot do it by building a wall all across the border, that's not going to do it," he said.

And for those of you who like mariachi music, this new Viva Obama ad is really nicely done. It's clogging the YouTubes right now.
