Scranton Drops Out of Governor's Race
Bill Scranton has dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination for the race for Pennsylvania governor.
Tuesday, February 7, 5:15 p.m.
The GOP race for the Republican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania just got smaller. Candidate Bill Scranton announced late Tuesday afternoon that he is dropping out of the race.
The former lieutenant governor said in a statement he believes his campaign was strong, but not strong enough to win the precinct-by-precinct battles against fellow Republican Lynn Swann.
Scranton had been in the race for the Republican nomination since October.
He must have heard the applause at the SB and at the parade.

Did Reagan?
Nah,he's not beholden to anybody.
The Gipper had that Governor gig.But how about IKE? None,Zip,Nada.
And what did IKE do? The Interstate Highway System, that's all.
"Ever since that TV wrestler in Minn. and Arnold in Calif, I wonder if guys like this can lead with out any old boy net to support them."
The performance of those two is/was no worse than the career pols.
Therefore I say go with the celebrities. Probably a lot more upside, than downside.
and he had mamie.
At least the Gipper had been in politics and President of the Screen Actors Guild.
Oh well, Swannie couldn't be any worse then Slick Ed Rendell.
And isn't Swann running for Governor just like Reagan with no experience?
This is "Fast Eddie" Rendell's worst nightmare.
My mistake.I was thinking about IKE while typing and my thoughts got crossed.It's not so bad being smoothsailing, but I'll never be Always Right!
LOL!
FRegards...ss
Now if Ohioans can get Jim Petro to drop out and open the field for Blackwell...then we'll have it made!
Swannee! Swannee! I'm going back to Swanneeeeeeee!!!!!
Go Lynn Go!!!
Go! Go! Go!
I can see Fast Eddie checking the graveyards right now for names.
I'm going to find Petro's email addy and write him requesting he drop out for the good of the party and the Buckeye State!
I'll bet he tries to suppress the overseas military absentee ballots again.He's scum of the worst kind.
