And while Faber had his political "swag" going on Saturday, today Saldivar notched one more feather in his cap. That's because Anthony "Boots" Martinez today threw his support behind the Belmopan candidate. Last week he held out on the media, telling us that he was still weighing his options - but today he called all the sations to his office to say that he had decided. And his choice is.

"Well it's been a long thought and looking on the history of my involvement in the party, I think that I like the calm maturity of John Saldivar. I like him abilities to talk to people and talk with people. I like his intellectual capacity and I like his interaction in terms of dealing with the ordinary people and sports. I am very much some aspects the sports lane dynamo was full fletch behind football and so I and John Saldivar, we have been in the trenches politically for a while and I think that John Saldivar have the ability to serve in my humble opinion as the 1st deputy party leader."

"What would you say to those who might feel somewhat betrayed from not keeping your vote in Belize City?"
Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez, Member for Port Loyola
"It's not betrayed. I don't think the leadership of the party is about where you come from or geographic location or ethnicity. I think that you have a choice. You are given choices and you weigh what choice you think is best for your and the party. That doesn't take away - that you say that the Hon. Faber is not a formidable candidate for the post, but my choice at this time is for Hon. John Saldivar."
