My Take on Everything From El Paso & National Politics, News, Sports, Pop Culture & Life

Danny Anchondo Playing Both Sides of the Fence?

I received a letter from the local President of the El Pasoans for Hillary Club. There was one interesting section that I thought I’d share with you all.

Judge Williams and Mr. Anchondo recently appeared (can you say appeared when talking about a radio show?) on the El Paso on the Move Weekend Edition with Hector Montes (http://www.khro1650.com/). During the show, Mr. Williams remarked, on more than one occasion, that Mr. Anchondo discussed how to award the at-large delegates. Mr. Williams characterized the conversation as Mr. Anchondo AGREEING with him that the proper way to award the remaining delegats would be to award them in a way that would balance out the delegation to roughly a 75-25 split.

Mr. Anchondo did not disagree with, dispute, or challenge that characterization by Mr. Williams.

Interestingly, in the letter sent from the President of El Pasoans for Hillary to the Hillary Delegates, the author states:

As you might already know, Obama’s supporters are challenging our status as delegates to the state convention. Many of you have contacted me recently to get clarity on this issue and to organize. Mr. Anchondo, the County Democratic Chair, will be mailing all delegates very soon an explanation of the status of our delegation.

The most interesting part to me is this:

What he has indicated is that Mr. Williams misinterpreted his comments at the convention to be supporting Mr. Williams argument, and that the challenge is just that, a challenge.

So this leaves me wondering. Is Mr. Anchondo playing both sides of the fence on this one? If Mr. Williams did infact misinterpret his comments, why didn’t Anchondo say anything during the show and why hasn’t he said anything since? He was on the radio again yesterday on Fernie the Attorney Show and had another chance to set the record straight but he remained silent on the issue.

I’d really like to know what the real story is.

Changes in the Wind at KHRO 1650am?

Overheard a tidbit today about 1650am (http://www.khro1650.com/) and the Lolis Show. Apparently they may be moving in a different direction and this week could be the last week she’s heard on “The Ladies Room”.

Wonder if there are any other changes in store?
