Edico - Political Announcements

…Bob O’Connor will make his formal dive into the Pittsburgh Mayoral Race this Sunday at the brand spanking new South Side Works IBEW facility located by the Hot Metal Bridge…the event is set to take place between 1:00 pm & 3:00 pm, which when you think about it, is one heck of a long announcement for a guy that is going for his third attempt at the same office… surely that two hour window must be for allotting time so that everyone can get thru the cookie line and not for a 120 minute speech.  Look for O’Connor to distance himself from his voting record in City Council, Tom Murphy, Joe King, Stadiums, Boomer Baker Knoll, Act 47 and a partridge in a pear tree.  Don’t look for a quick endorsement from all of the City unions…in his reign as a card carrying member of the city council there are some less than favorable votes that he cast that do not endear him to all of the boys in blue…this is the do or die race for O’Connor he either finally pulls it off or goes down in Grant Street history as the man who achieved the only hat trick in failed mayoral attempts…makes you wonder if Sam Katz is taking notes…
