Oh my, the Sanchez folks must be concerned!
He's a pretty boy with the personality of a wet mop who hopes to dupe this city's huge Hispanic population into voting for him (he's Cuban) just because of his last name. His city council record is, to put it mildly, unimpressive. He's also easily flustered, as shown by his curious charge about Bill White representing "big business" (I believe he used the phrase, "Enron-sized"), a very odd thing for a Republican in a big business-oriented city to say.
Well, not odd if you recognize the desperation behind his words.
What's next? A late Sanchez ad about Bill White and Hillary Clinton being separated at birth due to an insidious plot by an "Enron-sized" business to, one day, lay seige to both the country (Hillary for Prez in 2004) and the nation's fourth-largest city (Bill for Mayor in 2003)in a sort of "liberal blitzkreig"?
Anyway, Orlando Sanchez is a singularly uninspiring candidate, one who, yes, likely had an election stolen from him in 2001 but from that point forward did little if anything to endear himself to area GOPers (e.g., ignored calls to run against Chris Bell in 2002).
And another thing: Robert Eckels' last-minute proclamation that existing rail lines running off of 290 could "adequately" provide mobility to/from the main Metro line running to downtown is as transparent a ploy I've seen raised in quite some time. The knee-jerk anti-rail/"flat earth society" forces aren't going to prevail this time around.
Bill White is far and away the most qualified candidate this time around. Its sad the best the GOP could do this go-round, ultimately, was Orlando.
Look at the bright side: White's far, far better than Lee Brown, the most ignorant public servant I've ever seen.
Can't wait to see THAT egomaniac's picture taken down near the airport...
