Former Pittsburgh Steeler Hall of Fame receiver Lynn Swann announced his candidacy for governor of Pennsylvania.
G. Terry Madonna, a pollster and professor at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, said Swann needs to convince voters that he has ideas and the leadership ability necessary to turn them into policy. He could benefit from disenchantment with the state and national governments, Madonna said.
"Voters are looking for fresh faces," Madonna said. Swann "has a personal story to tell that's compelling."
I'll be following Swann's run for governor, anxiously awaiting an official campaign website with more information on his political views. I do think Swann's decision is a better one than the Vikings new pick for head coach. As a loyal Bears fan, their decision to hire "an offensive coordinator from a mediocre team" doesn't bother me as much as Professor Schaff though.
