So far, GOP is leaning Swann's way

Republican Lynn Swann continued his march to his party's gubernatorial endorsement on Saturday despite being handed defeats in a pair of regional straw votes. Republican loyalists gathering for closed-door caucuses in Nesquehoning and in suburban Scranton threw their support to their hometown favorite: Swann rival Bill Scranton. But Swann apparently is still ahead in the aggregate vote count needed to secure the GOP gubernatorial endorsement next month. Heading into the so-called ''Super Saturday'' caucuses, unofficial tallies provided by aides to both campaigns showed Swann, 53, an NFL Hall of Famer and former Pittsburgh Steeler, with about 120 votes, to Scranton's 76, of the approximately 180 votes needed to win the Republican endorsement.

Scranton's toast. His campaign chief basically called Swann an Uncle Tom (Rich White Guy) whom Scranton fired.

Steelers are going to the Super Bowl so that makes Swann even more popular as Pennsylvanians fondly remember the Steelers' golden years from the 70s (Cue the Earth, Wind and Fire music)

That's Scranton's business if he wants to believe it. I'd vote for a Natural Law Party member over the 'Rats... at least they're sincere and fairly peaceful. Scranton's religious philosophy isn't the issue as much as his RINOistic leanings are.

(I can't believe people still follow the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Following Yogi Berra I could see, since he at least had useful advice, such as "when you get to a fork in the road, take it.")

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie, ooh, what have you done

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you broke the rules

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie, ooh, how did you know

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie, ooh, you'll get yours yet

We gave her everything we owned
just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest
and the greatest of them all

Ha, She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie
Ha, However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie
