John Baer on Swann's Desperation

Columnist John Baer has a great article about Lynn Swann's latest desperate attempt to start a campaign. The fundraising letter uses old stats, old quotes, and old news. The bottom line is they cannot find anything recent or relevant to hang on the Governor.

That's really funny because progressive Democrats have been openly criticizing Rendell for forcing Bob Casey down their throats in the Senate race. There are lots of pro-choice women refusing to vote for the Guv this year in protest. Of course Lynn Swann can only run down the right sideline and these issues would force him to cut left. The result? An incomplete pass.
