If he loses the election, I'm going to find out the name of his campaign manager and recommend that person to Algore, or sKerry or one of the other donkey hopefuls in '08...they'd surely lose the election worse than they will anyway.  As I've said before, Lynn should be winning this election hands down, but for his poorly run campaign.  Here is further proof of the failure of this mental midget...whoever it is!

"Gov. Ed Rendell, who led by 23 percentage points in a poll of likely voters released Wednesday, has touted his environmental record throughout his administration, and he’s campaigned heavily on it this election cycle. During his visit to Wilkes University last week, he emphasized his commitment to transitioning the state vehicle fleet to hybrid and alternative-fuel autos.

But the bus he rode into town was fueled by regular, old diesel.

Conversely, Swann’s campaign retrofitted his bus, “Reform One,” specifically to run on biodiesel, a low-polluting fuel made from animal fats and vegetable oils.

So far, however, Swann has created little, if any, concern over the contrast. Placed inconspicuously on the side of the bus is a promotion of its environmentally friendly fuel, but Swann hardly discusses its significance. Given a chance to address the topic when he visited the Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Hall on Sunday, Swann said little.

That’s because environmental concerns, while important, don’t top most voters’ lists, said his spokesman, Lenny Alcivar, on Wednesday.

“It’s not something that arises in the first or second tier of issues,” he said. “Sometimes it’s important to send messages in symbolic ways.”

The bus is an unspoken “reminder” that Swann supports many of the same environmental initiatives as Rendell, Alcivar said. Though Rendell can lean on his environmental record as governor, he’s being disingenuous by not running his campaign bus on a less-polluting fuel, Alcivar added.

“After four years and so much rhetoric on the environment, how could you not?” Alcivar said. “It’s an example of the rhetoric versus reality.”

That bus was actually purchased for Rendell’s first gubernatorial campaign before biodiesel technology had become popular, explained Dan Fee, a spokesman for the campaign.

“If (Rendell) bought a new bus, he would certainly use alternative fuels,” he said.

“It’s an age-old question of are you walking the walk,” said King’s College political science assistant professor David Sosar, and Swann might be missing a golden opportunity to thumb his greener nose at Rendell’s apparent double standard.

“I think he’s made a mistake by not maybe making it more of a deal. … From the standpoint of throwing it back on Rendell, it might have helped,” he said. “Let’s be honest, the Democrats have owned that particular area.”

First he down-plays his football leadership qualities, and now this!  I am so disappointed!  Mr. Swann, you have to people a reason to vote FOR you!  [sigh....harummmph]
