He's got my vote. Now if he would only propose something as useful about property taxes...
wonderful...Lynn Swann in PA, Tom Osborne in NE...what's next? Hayden Fry in Iowa?
I support Swannie!
More campaign promises in PA but I think anyone would be better than Rendell. Rendell runs around the state in his limo handing out block grants and everyone is grateful and the media loves it. Nobody seems to mind that this is taxpayer money. Rendell promised to reform property taxes too but never happened.
Swan was a good receiver but Stallworth was better.
Sorry Dude,
Lynn doesn't have a snowballs chance. I predict he will not get past the primary.
This tax issue is the first time he took a stand on anything.
He's known in Pittsburgh and western PA, but a nobody where it counts.
If he doesn't get the support of the money republicans in east of the state, (and it looks grim on that note) he will be a nice also ran.
BTW, Hear tell the bikers of the state oppose him 100%. Not that they are a big constituency, but hey, 5,000 or so votes is a voter block.
Scranton will most likely take the primary and then get soundly thumped by Fast Eddie.
(republican committeeman here)
I think I received something similar in snail mail. I would love to see Mr. Swann get in over Scranton, but I agree that Mr. Swann doesn't have a chance outside Pittsburgh. The problem too is that regardless of which Republican gets into the governor's mansion, he usually is not at all successful in getting anything even remotely reforming thruogh the state legislature. This is a largely Dem state and even the Republicans by and large are RINOs.
I do however wish Mr. Swann well.

He's got to be better than Rendell. (that ain't saying much, though)
