Well, this is exactly what I have been saying all along. Rendell cn lose to a good candidate with name recongnition. This is the best case I have seen for running Swann, who, BTW, made a great speech laying out a 10 point tax plan, on Monday.
Yeah, but I think the Pennsylvania poll might be a little messed up. Over 60% approval in the NE? And, how does he have higher approval in the T than in the Southwest?
Because people in Pittsburgh really hate Rendell. You should know that. Aren't you from around there?
Even if they do hate him as much as this poll says, Swann can't get around 70% in the Southwest, even if he was a Steeler.
I would seriously not put it past him. Swann is a very quick on his feet, sharp, eloquent, charismatic person. He might not have a ton of politcal expireince, but he has acctually started to put a real platform together. For the first time, we acctually know where he stands on an issue other than abortion. I expect more of this in the coming weeks. And, he is a Steeler. In Pittsburgh, where people acctually self identify with the Steelers, that means quite a bit. I really think Swann can win.
We've ALREADY seen a few Swann gaffes, and I'm sure there's more to come.
BTW, don't be silly....Swann didn't put out a platform, the RNC put one out for him. He is the candidate of Ken Melhman and the White House.
