Schweiker did, indeed, come across well. I believe he runs in his own right in November and can see his TV ads with last night's tape.

Where are you getting this stuff??? He's not even running, as far as I know - and he didn't run for the position he's in now, being a replacement for Tom Ridge.

Geez...

You're right, Schweiker isn't running in the fall. The Republican candidate, Attorney General Mike Fisher, is facing noted thug Ed Rendell in the Pa. governor's race. Maybe Schweiker should enter the GOP primary against the Scotsman, Arlen Specter, at the first opportunity.

"He's not even running, as far as I know - and he didn't run for the position he's in now, being a replacement for Tom Ridge. "

He did run as Ridge's running mate and moved up when Ridge went to Washington.

Schweiker according to local papers grew up in Levittown and has already bought a house nearby for his return. He wants to take care of his family. Maybe he is too pro-life for today's GOP.
