Pittsburgh wins again -- Looks like former Steeler Lynn Swann will stand as the Republican candidate in the upcoming Pennsylvania gubernatorial race. Party leaders and committemen are apparently convinced of both his substance and his charisma, and I believe they should be. Most people I've spoken to seem enthusiastic, and all agree that he at least has a shot at replacing Rendell. It will take a concerted effort from all corners of the party -- and, of course, Swann and his political team -- to turn a shot at victory into the taste of victory. May the best man win!
