Swann ties Rendell for Penn. Gov.

According to the most recent Strategic Vision poll, former Pittsburgh Steeler and GOP candidate for Pennsylvania Governor Lynn Swann is tied with incumbent Governor Ed Rendell, at 44% with 10% undecided.

Swann is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame (he played for USC) and the NFL Hall of Fame. He was the MVP of Super Bowl X.

(An aside: note that Rudy leads McCain 38% to 27% - see question 20.)

Very interesting. I wonder if this poll will get any coverage.

This is going to be an interesting election.

Lynn Swann has some real talent. He is popular, articulate and charismatic.

Also, his timing is perfect. Steelers Win Superbowl. Steeler Hall of Famer runs for Governor.

Yeah, I was wondering about that Steeler's angle this year.

Still, if Swann can detach some black voters from Philadephia and Pittsburgh, I agree, he'll be the next governor.

I can't wait the "Uncle Tom" rhetoric to start.
