Swann Sells His Soul for $700,000


GOP gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann smothered up to George W. Bush all day yesterday, completely associating himself with a president the vast majority of Pennsylvanians disapprove. How much did he sell his soul for? $700,000 in cash for his coffers. Was this a good deal? How much will those pictures of Swann and Bush together be worth for bloggers like me? Priceless.

60% of Pennsylvanians don't approve of Bush's failed Administration. The number keeps going up, not down. In a few weeks we'll begin reminding everyone of Katrina and that fiasco. Hitching your wagon to a sinking ship (sorry for the mixed metaphor) doesn't make much sense. More bad judgment by Mr. Swann.
