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.
no disrespect intended, it just seemed odd to call Ike unqualified as a do-nothing.
I gave Ike credit in posts above for the Interstate and being the Supreme Allied Commander.
Presidents rarely make a lasting impact, but I would be the first to say that one who did was none other than Dwight David Eisenhower.
Again Rob,context.The "that's all" reference was a sarcastic response to an earlier post, and not intended to portay a "do-nothing" opinion of Ike.He was much more than that.
I'll proudly stand by your side to defend IKE!
FREgards.
I think it is the Jubilier's people who want to be part of the Swann campaign rather than the other way around.
Good. Now the PA GOP can focus on Swann taking out Fast Eddie.
I'm loving it! :)
That's simplistic. It would be like me saying, "I was born in a hospital therefore I am qualified to be a doctor."
Oh well. Good luck, Swannie.
Buckle up, this should be quite a ride!
Rendell has governed as a centrist and will be easily re-elected.
That's the way the founding fathers meant it to be. Electing lawyers is what has gotten our government into the mess that it is.
