Remember the invitations sent to his friends to attend a January 26 fundraising reception held at the at the swank Rancho Viejo golf resort from self-described yellow-dog Democrat and wannabe Cameron County Judge Dan Sanchez – also the commissioner for Pct. 4. – for Republican Senator John Cornyn?
Apparently, the minimum amount for in the "guest" category at $500 was a bit too pricey for his Democratic friends (of for Republicans for that matter) and the Cornyn Inner Circle category was a mere $5,000.
"Una baba," right?
Well, we understand that true local GOP loyalists were alarmed at the small number of presales to the event and – not wanting to embarrass Cornyn, and be embarrassed by the small turnout – at the last moment had to rally the troops and haul in the warm bodies. to bolster the attendance.
Many Democrats were wondering what Sanchez, who has made no secret he wants to fill the seat left behind by diminutive Democrat-killer Carlos Cascos when Da Judge heads for greener pastures after 2014, was doing courting the Republican senator.
We've all heard the good commish mouth his favorite party saying (probably of his own fertile mind) that "D" (as in Democrat) is for "Drive" and "R" (as in Republican) is for "Reverse," referring to the progressive political philosophy of the parties.
So far, Dan hasn't explained how it is that instead of pulling the shifter past "R," "N," and into "D" he chose instead to stay on "R."
If he was trying to court the "moderate" Republicans in Cameron County as Cascos did the "conservative" Democrats to beat his former Democratic opponents (current Texas Democratic Chairman Gilbert Hinojosa and former commissioner John Wood ), all we can say is that his ongoing campaign to be our county judge might have suffered a reverse.
Is that a grinding of the gears we hear? Or a gnashing of the teeth?
SANCHEZ' DISMAL TRY TO CURRY GOP FAVOR FAILS, "R" IS FOR REVERSE, DAN
