Rendell Up By 20 Points

Wow, and this is the magic number by which some political reporters justify no longer covering campaigns so it's significant. A new Quinnipiac poll has Governor Rendell leading former Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann 54% to 34%. Fact is this race never was one becuase Swann self destructed when asked about issues and, as a result, had no credibility as a candidate. His campaign staff problems and other gaffes only added to that image and doomed his effort.
