"BTW, there has NEVER been a black 'Rat US Senator."

Yes, but there "has been" a black president.

I lived in Pittsburgh during the super bowl years and I love Lynn Swann. I was all ready to support him for governor until I read this on his official website:

Lynn currently sits on the board of directors of three companies, including H.J. Heinz Company, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, and Wyndham International, Inc.

Now I am deeply saddened and concerned. /s

I see that he's Pro-Life, if that means anything.

I kinda wish he'd run for a lesser office first. I mean, he doesn't have much of a record to be running for an executive position.

That said, it is exciting to see more black conservatives, and I'm all for anybody that'll have a chance at beating 'Boss' Rendell.

Oh no, a black republican. An abomination of nature, if the libs are to be believed.

And a sports hero!!

The Democrats will run scared.

Here's a man the blacks really can relate to.

Isn't he a mulatto? And raised by a white family? I understand many people follow the one-drop rule, but he's obviously of a mixed background, and not rock-ribbed "Democrat black."

mulatto

This is a bigoted word, btw. The implications of calling this someone this should be obvious, but I'll help you. The word is derived from the word "mule", would you want your children called this?

He's the man?

He's an empty suit that is being propped up by the corrupt and failing PA Senate Majority Leader. He can't speak until someone loads his lips. He's canceled numerous speaking engagements, perhaps due to not knowing his lines.

He's fine when the talk is general, but he fails miserably when it gets down to specifics.

If he is 'the man', PA is in trouble.
