Lynn Swann: Republican Governer???

Well actually it doesn't matter if I support this or not because I don't live in PA but I'm kind of all a-tizzy in a swirling vortex of WTF.

* which is why I have a much bigger issue with women taking this attitude than anything else but that's another story.

hahaha not to get all political and stuff, but maybe you should ask weld about that training college he ran into the ground. not so "fiscally conservative," that.

Bush's support amongst African Americans in 2004 was not really up significantly, as far as I can tell (and, let's face it, we cannot really trust vote totals in oh let's say Ohio inner cities). So I think the "Demos ignore blacks so they're defecting to the GOP" theme is not really supported by facts. It is true that many Christian black people are drawn to the socially conservative agenda of the Repubs, but what's the paying-more-attention-to-the-black-community solution for that?

There was about a 6-9% increase in the Hispanic vote for Bush, but a) he's "from" Texas, so he's bound to get more support from that, b) it's fair to suppose that some of that support is from Catholic (and increasingly evangelical) single-issue voters who are more concerned about abortion and gay marriage, and c) more Cubans coming of voting age = more Repub votes in FLA.

END BORING SEMI-POLITICAL COMMENT

Eff a Lynn Swann. If Hines Ward ran, though, I'd register to vote in Pennsylvania. And don't you think Jerome Bettis could beat Swannie's ass in an election right now?
