I grew up in PA and we have a saying there that everything between Philly & Pittsburg is like Albama, I doubt a black man stands a chance of getting elected there. None of the white Republicans I know will vote for a black man, a factor no one is considering.

Boy, I sure hope this is not true. I live in Bucks County and I haven't seen any of that. But I'm not familiar with the rural areas of the Commonwealth. I guess we'll find out when we see the turnout numbers.

I'm talking about Delaware county, where the Republicans have kept control for years by playing the race card, i.e. pointing to the problems of Philly and implying that the Democrats will let "those people" take over if elected, but the Republicans will keep "them" out, and everyone knew what they meant. I don't see that garnering Swann a lot of votes. Bucks county is totally different, a lot wealthier and better educated than most of the state.
