The accusations from last night's dinner club debacle have had us laughing all day as last night's absent councilors tried to explain away their precipitous and foolish boycott.
Mayer said that for two months, Winter had said he would support her for the job. She said he later agreed to support Sanchez but changed his mind again just before Monday's meeting when he received a call from Allen Weh, chairman of the state Republican Party.
Sanchez said he had the support of Councilor Brad Winter, a much needed vote, but minutes before tonight's meeting Winter said he wouldn't support Sanchez.
"Politically to me you're only as good as your word," Sanchez said at a news conference. "This is an issue of integrity: this is an issue of honesty."
"He said that his wife would divorce him and his wife does serve on the Water Authority. And I would hope that would not be the case when we are making decisions as members of this council," said Sanchez.
That last one is a real gem... Divorce over a position that only about 9 people care about! Funny stuff! Besides, how many of you have told everyone that would listen that you were going to vote for one candidate only to press the opposing candidate's button? (John Kerry supporters you know who you are.)
What's even more entertaining is that our Eyes tell us that "moderate Democrat" (Ok, Martycrat) Sanchez has been dissed no less than 4 previous times by the Democrat controlled County Commission. Each year Commissioner (now Councilor) Sanchez would nominate himself for the president's post only to have his fellow Democrats pass on his presidential bid.

Perhaps the brain trust of Mayer and Harris should have done a little historical research before backing the Sanchez horse. Newly elected Councilor Trudy Jones might want to be careful who she takes political advice from. She gets a mulligan on this one but let's hope she's smart enough not to miss her second council meeting.

Sally as Council President?
One heart beat from Mayor?
Please wake me from this nightmare.
Come on people, Ken (Marty Chavez)Sanchez for Council President. Give me a break!
Marty already has his hands way too deep in the Albuq taxpayers pockets.
Go home Ken and think about the people you should be supporting!
Marty chavez will only bring you down!
No.
Not the "heart of the heights."
I'm scared!
I think I must have developed vertigo!
Sanchez, Mayer, Jones and Harris. You 4 Councilors really need to grow up!
We know you all wanted the Council President's position in case the mayor leaves early. How about becoming mayor by being elected!
Take a lesson from O'Malley. She didn't go away crying because Winter did not support her, instead she stayed and did what she was elected too!
Way to go Councilor O'Malley!
The GOP fightin', hard, dirty, and nasty! Good Luck! How's the daughter at the Academy? Oops..... did she get the boot for underage drinking?
I believe that the Council president sets the agenda for the City Council. The mayor wanted Ken Sanchez in that position so that if he(Ken) would be able to change the charter to run for mayor again should everything on the federal level fall through.......
Councilor Sanchez needs to distance himself from that loser Marty Chavez.
It's too bad, as Sanchez seemed to be a real swell guy!
Lose Chavez, he will bring you down!
