Lynn Swann
For those of you who watched the Georgia/West Virginia game and didn't know what the announcers were referring to as the next step in Lynn Swann's life, he's going to announce on Wednesday that he's a candidate for governor of the state of Pennsylvania.
Just thought you might want to know in case you didn't already.

As a political consultant, I would kill for a candidate like Swann. He's a god in Pennsylvania and he'll be able to raise a warchest the likes of which the state has never seen. He should have no problem winning the Republican nomination, but Rendell will be a tough opponent. Pennsylvania is the state to watch in 2006 with the governor's race and the country's highest profile US Senate race.

Actually, he's been very involved in a number of social issues. He's definitely a more qualified candidate than Arnold Swarzenegger was.
Why do I have the feeling that if he was running as a Democrat, you wouldn't have made that comment, BB?

Actually, he's polled very well. Its going to be a very competitive race and it could easily go either way.

pretty weird how you get states like NY and CAl that are "allegedly" heavily democrat/liberal bastions who then elect Republican governors....and vica versa you get states like North Dakota with 2 Democrat Senators (I think) and they vote like 70% Bush in the general election for President....
Just goes to show that in general Americans are very fickle when it comes to politics. |
