NFL-Great Lynn Swann Announces Candidacy
This is no joke nor is it a rumor. Lynn Swann, 55. Declared his candidacy for the governor of Pennsylvania. If he is successful he will become the first African-American governor of the state.
Swann won 4 Super Bowl rings for the Pittsburg Steelers before joining ABC Sports after his retirement. His popularity from his playing days and constant visibility should give him an edge on an opponent in the primary.
If he wins the primary (and he should) Swann will most likely face Democrat Ed Rendell, who is seeking a second term at the post. Rendell won in 2002 with 53% of the 3.58 million votes cast.
Swanny should have a favorite son status amongst voters. The question is whether or not he can garner the approximate 125,000 votes he will need to take away from Rendell. I will further analyze this race in the spring should he win the primary.
