Do know Gov. Mark Schweiker's background?

He's the son of former Senator Richard Schweiker. Why he declined to run for Gov. this year is beyond me.

Maybe the good folks of Pennsylvania will write in Schweiker's name and he'll be their Governor after all.

The NYSlimes had him on the front page today, no doubt because they felt it safe to give a Republican credit since he's not running for anything!

No he is not, he is the son of John and Mary Schweiker of Levittown, Bucks County.

Former Pa. U.S. Senator Richard S. Schweiker is from Montgomery County.

There may or may not be a family relationship. That part of the state has a strong German/Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Schweiker sounds as though it could be one of those names that take up dozens of pages in the local phone books.
