A sliver of hope for the Swann campaign? By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, May 28, 2006

The opposing team is befuddled.

The media are bored.

The electorate is disengaged.

And the campaign team? Bush (with a small "b") league.

*PA Gov Race Ping*

I think you meant to ping these folks, NorthEasterner, but it didn't end up in the right column. ;-)

Okay, I'm not even in the same time zone.

Is this column something close to factual, or just the usual MSM Bravo Sierra?

This is the same broad, see post above, who just wrote an article: "Is GOP losing grip on power?"

Got it.

Bravo Sierra SQUARED, with a double dip of wishful thinking.

Sliver of hope? I thought Swann stood a good chance of winning?

Praying that Swann wins this race. Pennsylvania needs someone with some common sense and logic in the office of Governor.

The Intrade prediction market gives him about a twenty percent chance.

Read your columns....that's truly depressing, and those of us in other states were pretty psyched about a Swann campaign particularly after the super bowl.

Maybe he should hire you to run his campaign!!!

If you're young enough and smart enough to carry a gun .......... good!

That is all that would help this sick political country and state.

Polls show Rendell about 18 points ahead since Lynn does not seem to be campaigning with much progress. Some GOP bigwigs have not made appearances yet but Cheney is supposed to help. If that is possible in this Blue state. Still, Santorum is not quite done yet so maybe there is some chance for Lynn to beat fast Eddie.
