Swann closes in on GOP nomination, WTF!!?!!?!??
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2314959

'Swann, 53, is seeking to become Pennsylvania's first black governor. Though he has revealed little about his political philosophy, he has said the Democratic Party has "taken the African-American vote for granted."'

Mabye, but what the hell has the Republican party done for African-Americans(at least in the past 70 years or so)?

Please Pennsylvania!!! Don't make the same mistake as California.

2. Eh. Rendell will beat Swann with experience, integrity, balls and clues.
Swann is a ne'er will be.

His dreams of being a Governor is dashed. Zero political experience. After Arnold, the country's wiser.

5. and Arnold was a fluke
Clown that he is, he could only have gotten elected in that circus of a recall. Besides, even though I know next to nothing about Pennsylvania's situation, I'm pretty sure that Rendell can't possibly be as unpopular as Davis was.

3. Maybe they can draft Jack Tatum to run against him
and he'll fake an injury and scurry to the sidelines just like in days past.
