Former Steelers star Lynn Swann has filed papers forming a campaign committee for governor, his first official step toward a possible campaign for the 2006 election.

Swann's filing allows him to begin raising money for a campaign. He filed the papers yesterday.

Swann, who has worked as a broadcaster since his retirement as a wide receiver, promised to begin "a conversation with the people of Pennsylvania."

"I will spend time introducing myself to communities across the commonwealth," he said in a statement. "As I consider my personal decision regarding the upcoming gubernatorial race, we will also explore the potential political and financial support for my candidacy."

2. nope as a repub

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. is Rendell safe?

[bleedingheart]

4. In the big cities of Philly and Pittsburgh I think he is safe but

the GOP controlled Senate and House have been f*cking with him from the beginning so this election in 2006 is going to be ugly...plus we have Santorectum running then too......

5. Swann stumped hard for W and PA went for Kerry...

All the Dems have to do is run commercials over and over again showing Lynn Swann hugging W on the 2004 campaign trail...that'll do it. I think Rendell is safe because the cities that went for Kerry will outnumber the red center...even in Pittsburgh where Swann is remembered as a great Steeler. STICK TO FOOTBALL, Lynn!!!!

Santorum is the real target in 06.

6. And I hope Franco Harris comes out with the Dems again...

he was great on the campaign in the Fall!

I always liked Franco's football playing better anyway, so nnnaaayyhh Lynn Swann, and your GOP buddies too!


On Edit: OK Lynn, here's my conversation with you -- stick to football and shut up.
