that's a fairly accurate description...
I wish Swann would win the election so Arlen can retire.
I'd hate for him to die in office, sincerely. That wouldn't be a good thing.
I wish he had retired before his last re-election campaign, so the GOP could have nominated a quality, top-flight candidate like Thornburgh, or Melissa Hart, or even Pat Toomey.
I hope Swann does well, even though the odds are against him right now.
