Pennsylvania Politics -- Swanny's Slow Start

Pennsylvania Republicans are starting to worry about Swanny. The problem is that he isn't raising enough money to compete effectively with Ed [the fundraising Pirhana] Rendell. There are also complaints that Swann hasn't taken strong positions on a lot of important issues. And, there is worry that he won't do well among blacks.

Colin McNickle summarizes the worries here and notes that the Swann campaign is finally moving into high gear but still lacks focus.

Salena Zito writes that he real problems with Swann's campaign are that he seems oddly disengaged and "he is handled by amateurs" who love him so much that they won't tell him he's screwing up. [here]
