This is it. The Washington Post has been kind enough to provide the perfect Democratic frame for the Lynn Swann candidacy. In the midst of an otherwise largely positive article comes this gem:
It's no stroll on the Astroturf, either. "I have to question whether he understands the magnitude and depth of the job," says Dwight White, a teammate of Swann's on the four Steelers Super Bowl teams. White also remained in Pittsburgh and has gone on to a successful career at a financial services firm. White, who says he and Swann are at "different ends of the political spectrum," is undecided about whether he'll support his former teammate.He jokingly compares the notion of Swann in the governor's office to a TV ad for Holiday Inn Express in which someone asks a man who is attempting to perform surgery if he has ever done this before. No, the man says. But at least the "surgeon" was smart enough to stay at a Holiday Inn Express the night before.
