"...That guy could catch! :D..."

Dallas fans are very aware of that from SB 10 and SB 13. Aside from that, I hope he wins. What are his realistic chances in PA?

I'm not crazy about him, but we could hardly do worse than the governor we have now.

Municipal races are nonpartisan in TX, but I believe that they are partisan in PA, aren't they?

I really dont know that much about him, so I wouldn't make any predictions yet.

"Well after all my daughter is a cheerleader at WVU...."

My daughter is a junior at UGA. She was very upset about the game. As you say, at least it turned out to be a competitive game. Not as good as the Rose Bowl, but a good game.

I heard the Mountaineer fans burned their sofas in celebration after the game. That isn't true, is it? Is it?

I hope everything goes ok for him.

I have been back since Last January. I never did anything remotely as dangerous as your grandson is doing while I was over there.

To overcome Fast Eddie Rendell's election day cheating, Swann might need the "Immaculate Election".

Swannie leads Scranton by 8 points in the latest primary polling. Rendell's disapproval rating in heavily Dem Allegheny county is 41%, his approval rating 49%. I think Swannie has a shot at taking Pittsburgh, that would take a massive Rendell victory (not out of the question unfortunately) in Philly to overcome.

One thing Swann has going for him is that there is palpable excitement about his candidacy among Republicans here-that is practically non-existent for any Republican candidate for office in the Pittsburgh area. The winner of the Democratic mayoral primary, for example, IS the presumed mayor-the general election is a farce. I have heard from far more people that they want to donate and get involved than I have with other statewide offices. That't the kind of thing that can quickly snowball and gain ground I think.

It's an uphill battle because of the sheer population dominance of Philly, but looking a little less impossible every day IMO. I'm donating money and will volunteer any time I can scrounge up. Have had my Team 88 bumper sticker for awhile now.

GO SWANNIE!

It sounds like you live in western PA. You've got a pretty good sense of Pitt/Allegheny politics.I live in Washington County and I'm certain that Swannie can win here.

TEAM 88 BUMP !!!

I am so glad to be from Pennsylvania. This is going to be one hell of a race. Between the governor and the senate seat, I am really excited. I am stationed overseas so my ballot will be absentee but this is still so exciting.
