Scranton Fires Campaign Manager

Pennsylvania Gubernatorial candidate Bill Scranton fired his campaign manager James Seif stated "The rich white guy in this campaign is Lynn Swann." during a televised call-in show on Wednesday.

Sranton issued an apology to Swann stating "(Seif's remarks) in no way whatsoever reflect my views or those of my campaign. I want to apologize to Lynn Swann, his family, supporters and PCN viewers for the offensive and disturbing comments made on my behalf."

Lynn Swann's campaign had no comment on the incident.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Scranton 's hopes for governor took a big hit because of this incident. The PR damage is obvious.

The flow of his campaign organization is a mess now as well. Imagine that your boss is fired in the middle of your company's busiest time of year. You get a new boss. This boss does things a little different than the old one and isn't familiar with anything. Scranton's campaign is in the same type of situation.

Bill Scranton's hopes are fading quickly. It was an uphill battle before this incident but is now a mountain climb. Look for Lynn Swann to take at around 60% of the vote.
