uh i am Salena...not a liberal, far from it worked for three presidents, two us senators and one governor cammpaign
only lost one...
all republicans...
am i a biatch well, that is debateble...
my point was I WANT HIM TO WIN
but he cannot win under these circumstances
if you saw what i saw on that campaign you would be just as fired up as i am
if you doubt my conservative card take the time to read ALL of my columns
this was a 'pay attention people' column
not a rip on Swann column...
I realize that it's small sample size, but it is my considered opinion that it would be a bad idea for Swann to name Chuck Noll as his campaign manager. As I recall, Chuck Tanner was the campaign manager for Jim Rooker's failed congressional race a number of years ago ('96 maybe?)...I was away from PA by then, and no doubt there were other reasons why Rooker's campaign fizzled even before the primary...but I think your point is that a candidate needs an experienced campaign manager. So appointing another outsider like Noll wouldn't work. I also realize you didn't necessarily mean the suggestion literally. Perhaps you were asking for someone who would force some discipline on him. If he is of a mind to take a vacation, why not do it in say, the Poconos or other parts of the state where he is not well known -- maybe take a few hours out of his day to get himself booked on talk radio stations during his travels.
Now I thought it was the party insiders who endorsed Swann over Scranton. Can't they get him the campaign help that he needs?
