Mayor team search to start - Trib reports with 70 year jinx repeated again

Mayor team search to start - PittsburghLIVE.com: "'As the Democratic nominee, you have to step gingerly because you don't want to look presumptive,' said Joseph Sabino Mistick, a Duquesne University law professor who worked in Mayor Sophie Masloff's administration. 'But at the same time, there's so much to be done (that) if you don't start now, you won't be ready to take over in January.'
O'Connor, 60, said he can't wait any longer to get down to the business of turning around Pittsburgh.
'We need to bring new, fresh blood,' he said. 'We have to go to work.'

I'd rather not have fresh blood, but fresh brains.
