toomy wouldn't have the won race. he is too far right and he seldom voted with Bush Adm. let's give spector benefit of doubt and see how it goes. personally i doubt he will be up to handling meetings while undergoing treatments. Swann never heard of him . understand he was football star. I doubt he would have any chance against Casey. Casey is right to life and expect him to run for Senate. He is very popular.. perhaps most popular person in pa. politics today. Rick has his work cut out for him and i doubt he gets elected. I believe Casey can win.

In PA, does former Steeler Lynn Swann have any chance in his bid to run for Gov. as a Republican? If it is Swann vs. Rendell, it will be another Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia race.....also Steelers vs. Eagles (Rendell loves the Eagles and communicates that often) A football player running for office in PA? Hell, why even bother with an election, just give him the office! ;P PA is a state where the first thing a young man gets asked is, "did you play ball in high school?" Derek

i got twisted in reply to last question about toomey who ran for senate and forgot about governor race with Rendell. No idea if Swann can win. I do know Rendell has put a budget together without helping out mass transit, education,, and did not request a tax increase although with those items we will need a tax increase of some kind. Not a very good example of a governor who plays his cards straight with the public. what he is trying to accomplish is to have the state reps kick his budget back with the increases in it and cause a tax increase. then he can run and say it was the republicans who caused the increase in taxes... g
