From what I know, the Republicans who are running for these offices are intelligent, well-informed people. That they happen to be black is not their biggest asset!
"That they happen to be black is not their biggest asset!"
Certainly not.
But Lynn Swann would probably not have a great shot at the Governor's mansion if he weren't black. It is definitely AN asset to be black or female if you're conservative. Which is a shame, because your sex or skin should have nothing to do with your ability to get ahead in society.
And as long as I'm fantasizing, I'd like a 65' Spray with a schooner rig.
Really. Name recognition alone for Lynn Swann has to give the dems heartburn.
Debate moderator; Here at the gubernatorial debate we have Lynn Swan, Hall of famer, Superbowl hero, Pitsburg Steelers legend, and some jacka$$ that is going to dare say something bad about him. Welcome gentlemen........
