PA-Gov: Dead Heat

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

If Swan is a social conservative, he is the biggest threat to the Dems other than John McCain.

If Swan wins PA, and the 2008 GOP nominee picks Swan as his running mate, the Dems can kiss 2008 goodbye!!!

Why the Hell would they choose Swann? That just seems like a bad pick up to me. It would be like the Dems taking Spitzer for VP. It wouldnt work.

1) He is known to 90% of Americans over the age of 35.
2) He has a great personality.
3) His respect among NFL fans gives him credability across party lines.
4) He would be the governor of PA, a blue state.
5) He is black and could give the GOP 20-35% of the black vote.
6) He is a natural born leader and people are awestruck by him.

...7) He is a WINNER and americans love winners.

awestruck? wow, thats the worst word ive ever seen to describe peoples feelings of Lynn Swann.

50 million Americans saw that man, on live TV, give the greatest performance ever witnessed on a football field in Jan 1976 during Super Bowl X.

Anyway, I still think that A) He wont get chosen to be VP B) It wouldnt work out if he was.

a) Yes, the GOP may not be smart enough to choose him as VP.
b) I don't see how it couldn't work.

I'm a supporter of Swann, but let's cut back on the euphoria a bit.  This is early.

The euphoria is based on a Swann win in Nov...IF, a big if...IF he wins the Governorship, then he would be a huge nightmare to Dems IF (another big IF) he is the GOP VP candidate in 2008.

The euphoria has nothing to do with his chances this november.
