Folks, be fair. Gubernatoral candidates being exceedingly open about issues is not exactly standard. That's why Democrats win in Wyoming, and Republicans win in Massachusetts. They run on a platform of economic improval and state issues, not on abortion and gay marriage.
Excellent post. And that may be Swann's problem. So far, it looks like his platform is basically going to be the Republican party platform. Because, as he said, "I don't have any ideas, I don't need any ideas"...I don't think that will win him the election.
