Former Lt. Governor Bill Scranton has dropped out of the race for governor of Pennsylvania. This means that former Steelers WR Lynn Swann will almost certainly be the Republican candidate for governor this fall. I wouldn't count him out given that Gov. Ed Rendell's poll numbers have been surprisingly soft of late. Rendell will likely have a big cash advantage and incumbent PA governors are almost never defeated when they run for reelection. But Swann's candidacy should be taken very seriously - even though that's a concept a lot of people are going to have trouble getting their head around.
