Well, that's awkward...

From The Lion Star Blog by Jaime Abeytia

I've written about the fact that its a little weird that the big money people behind Rep-Elect Naomi Gonzalez, namely the Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR) have been rumored to be getting ready to drop some cash on Republican Dee Margo's campaign.

It's weird because he's taking on Democratic State Representative Joe Moody.

Turns out that the TLR isn't the only connection between Gonzalez and Dee Margo. They have another common denominator...a well-known political operative, Rick Armendarez.

Armendarez did some work for the Gonzalez campaign in her successful bid to unseat State Rep Norma Chavez. Looks like Armendariz is handling the Latino outreach for the Dee Margo campaign.

I guess I should mention the weird case of El Paso style three degress of separation here. Dee Margo is now running a social networking ad that tries to tie Joe Moody to the unpopular Norma Chavez.

Ironically, Armendariz used to be a close political associate of Norma Chavez and was the founding name of record with the Camino Real Mexican American Democrats (Norma's political club) was created.

Gotta love the incestious nature of El Paso politics!
