Who the heck else should the Republicans run? One of the corrupt Republican state senators that rammed through the pay raise? Are there any Republican mayors or other officeholders that have one-tenth the name ID of Lynn Swann?

Swann is the best choice. Philly is never going to vote Republican, especially against Ed Rendell, who is still wildly popular there. But Swann may pull enough Democrat votes in Pittsburgh to win. Remember, not only is Swann a Steeler but Rendell is a huge Eagles fan and has even done commentary on Eagles games. They HATE the Eagles in Pittsburgh. The combination of a Lynn Swann candidacy and a Steelers Super Bowl appearance is Ed Rendell's worst nightmare.

There is also a large military vote in Pennsylvania, and they will not forget how Rendell tried to keep military votes from being counted in the 2004 election, while allowing felons in state prisons to cast illegal absentee ballots.

Rendell has been falling all over himself trying to be the Steeler's number #! cheerleader, even hosting a pep rally at the capitol yesterday. Bwahahaha....dance Fat Eddie, dance!
