Scranton Quits PA Governor Race
Bill Scranton quit the race for Penssylvania's governor on Tuesday. He cited that his decision was based on his belief that he could not garner the support from party leadership.
The Scranton campaign has been in a tail-spin since the incident that resulted in the firing of his campaign manager a couple of weeks ago.
Scranton's decision opens up the Swann campaign to concentrate on their November opponent, current Governor Ed Rendell. This is bad news for Rendell who hoped for Swann and Scranton to fight for position and split their party faithful's loyalties.
Right now most polls favor Swann over Rendell. It is always a bad sign for an incumbant to have less than 55% in the polls, especially this early in an election season.
Now that the primary has been decided, I will give a deeper analysis of this campaign next week .
