Swann by default?, Tuesday, August 8, 2006 
Oren M. Spiegler berates the Republican Party for
nominating Lynn Swann for governor instead of William Scranton Jr. ("Rebutting Swann," Aug. 4 and PghTrib.com).
I would like to know how active Spiegler was in the
pre-primary process. Did he take an active part and
campaign for Scranton?
Or was he like me and most of the silent voting
Republicans doing nothing to oppose the Republican
leaders? If so, then Swann won by default, so why cry
now?
Tell us, Mr. Spiegler, what should the voting
Republicans do on Election Day? Stay home? Vote
Republican and hold our noses as we pull the lever?
Hoi polloi are the hoi polloi because they let others
do the heavy lifting, then cry when they don't like
the process.
