(Six Degrees of) Cyril Wecht for Governor


Jon Delano reports that Dr. Cyril H. Wecht is seriously considering a run for PA Governor. The already crowded Democratic primary field includes Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato, Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Hoeffel, state Auditor General Jack Wagner, Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty and Philadelphia businessman Tom Knox.

Delano's story includes speculation by former Allegheny County Chief Executive and Republican Jim Roddey that Wecht is running as a spoiler to Dan Onorato due to Wecht's long running feud with Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala, Jr. (an ally of Onorato).

The Zappala connection brings in links to state Sen. Jane Orie and former U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan and I'm sure -- if I looked hard enough -- to my cat, Clio:


Because, when you play Six Degrees of Separation in Pittsburgh politics -- especially the Wecht version -- we're ALL involved.

UPDATE: Looks like someone is laying claim to the game.
