Yeah, I would say it's safe to say that the last time you idiots thought that, Swann came back. Swann's in some trouble now but he can surprise.
Pardon me for not paying close enough attention to Pennsylvania politics, but why is Swann in trouble? I thought he was going strong in Pittsburgh and especially in the "Conservative T" of central Pennsylvania. In January and February, it seemed to me from the press coverage that Rendell was the one in trouble (perhaps it was because the Steelers won the Super Bowl).
I actually thought the race would be closer than it is now. Did Swann make a verbal gaffe of some sort, or is it more that the voters did not know much about him? Did Rendell do something particularly noteworthy to boost his numbers?
