Lynn Swann For Governor Of Pennsylvania



One of the most popular receivers in NFL history, Lynn Swann of Pittsburgh Steeler fame. He has thrown his hat in the ring, for Governor of Pennsylvania. There is nothing strange about an athlete, taking on a career in politics. They are usually successful in their endeavors. Their popularity usually transcends the lines, of the different professions. Those who liked them as players, usually follow them into elected office. He's running in a state, where he is a living legend. He has mass appeal, he's a member of the Hall Of Fame. He has a clean record so far,no checkered past. The other week he was recognized nationally, as one of the Superbowl MVP's. He is a minority to boot, he's Black. This guy is so far picture perfect.

It seems that he has all his ducks in a row. All should be well in the Swann camp. Hold your horses, don't open the champagne yet. I guess you wonder, what could possibly be wrong? He committed the ultimate political sin, in the Black community. He is running on the Republican ticket. How could he be so right one day, and all of a sudden be so wrong? Only if you didn't know what that person stood for anyway. I like what he is talking about. I can't vote for him, but I'll be watching.
