Aaron Schock is currently the youngest member in Congress. What might be surprising, given the current woes of the Republican Party reaching out to young voters, is that he's a Republican. And thankfully, he's a very articulate and likable one.

The 27-year-old has been in the news lately for standing up under the pressure of Obama's charisma... and offers of trips on Air Force One. Our new President flew Schock to his hometown of Peoria, IL, for his speech to workers at Caterpillar. Obama was trying to gain support for the recently-passed stimulus bill, and he was hoping Schock would be pressured into casting a "Yea". He wasn't.

Schock isn't completely new to national attention, though. In September, he took the stage for a couple minutes (literally) at the Republican National Convention.

It looks like Schock could be a rising star within the party. With a speech like that, clearly communicating the benefits of conservatism, we sure hope so.
