Former Steelers wide receiver and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Lynn Swann is considering running for governor as a Republican in 2006, a spokeswoman for Swann's consulting firm said.

A decision about whether to run is not imminent, the Swann Inc. spokeswoman said yesterday. Swann has been discussing the issue with his family, friends and political leaders, she said.

Robert Asher, one of Pennsylvania's national GOP committeemen, told The Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News that Swann had called him seeking his support.

"With his name ID and the popularity he has, that is a heck of a start for this guy," said Montgomery County resident Asher, who has not decided on a candidate to support in 2006.

Ok - let's nominate Franco Harris as the Dem candidate - hey Franco was great campaigning for Kerry and other Dem candidates!

2. who's the gubnuh now?

3. Ed Rendell(D) - I assume he'd make a 2nd run

eom

[Ediacara]

4. Ed Rendell, Dem, not retiring

[starroute]

11. Rendell does Eagles football commentary every week

Has ever since he was mayor of Philadelphia.

Is this some bizarre attempt to get an Eagles vs. Steelers contest going in state politics? I'll take mine in the Superbowl, thank you.

13. GMTA

My son and I have been hoping for an Eagles/Steelers superbowl for a couple of months now.

The guv wouldn't sink to that level anyway, even if it was permitted.

[RamboLiberal]

15. Same here - I'd love to see an Steelers/Eagles matchup

this season!

6. This is their idea of how to beat Fast Eddy?

Not going to work repugos.
Ed will eat this guy alive.

[PAdem2]

14. Anybody with half a political brain knows that

this is a non-story. Yep, Ed R. would eat Swan alive. Eddie is an experienced, old-school dem politician that just delivered PA to Kerry. A "newbie" like Swan would NOT stand a chance, and everyone knows it.

7. I'm not sure his "home town" of Sewickley

would vote for him. He tells people to call him "Mr. Swann"

He is an ass.

12. heard that also,

My brother's a mailman in Sewickley. He seems to know most of the athletes that live there.

8. A real fumble Little Lynnie!

Why do these jock-freaks always think they can start their political careers by running for something like governor. None of them ever serve on school boards or borough councils or planning commissions. They think they've got these big jobs coming to them because what - they played sports??

Anyway, Swann has no chance in a Pa. GOPinhead party that's already annointed ghoulish State Legislator Piccola to run against Big Ed.

I've met Swann and his old uniform number (88) is twice his IQ.

9. Franco did do a good job campaigning.

I got to see him speak at an Edwards rally in Johnstown. I'd actually like to see Franco run against Santorum! He would make a great Senator!

[RT_Fanatic]

10. I'm the biggest Steelers fan I know,

but when I saw Swannie come out in support of the Shrub, I nearly threw up. F*ck him.

[RamboLiberal]

16. Same here - Fuck Him - I was so glad to see Franco

supporting Kerry. Lynn made me want to :puke:

[HootieMcBoob]

18. Franco donated to Kerry - Let's replay the immaculate reception!

Franco is this Steeler fans fav! I got his autograph when I was a kid too!

[fertilizeonarbusto]

17. Steelers AND Eagles fan here

Yes, my head is spinning. But, seriously, Lynn Swann is Clarence Thomas with game. 'Nuff said.

[Sandpiper]

19. Maybe now he can become the most overrated Governor ever

To go along with his title of most overrated wide receiver ever.

Sorry Steelers fans.

[BlueManDude]

20. lynn swann is an inarticulate doofus

anything to get his moronic, stumbling sideline reports off television.

[lakeguy]

21. heard this puke on Fox a while back talking about

how black people are doing so well now job wise because of * but when presented with some numbers showing the opposite, all he could do was stutter out that the black businessmen he knew were all doing great! how can guys like this get on national tv and lie like that? what a tool...

[chookie]

22. PEEEEE-YuuuuuuuuUUUUUKE!

Forget about devoting your life and learning to public service -- htese days, if you want to be a political leader you need to get there from a career in sports or movies.

What's next -- will they get PIXAR studios to create an animated Appealing LeaderTM?

Lynn Swann can kiss my ass.

[Catherine Vincent]

23. Any black person that would run on a republican ticket is an idiot.

Nuff said.

[0007]

24. I'm tired of these goddamn jock straps getting into office on

their athletic ability and their popularity. Most of 'em are not as smart as a box of rocks.

[GalleryGod]

25. An Oreo Asswipe who didn't even deserve the HOF

Pretty Boy Lynn rode in on the hard work of other Steelers:puke:
Once an Asswipe ..always an Asswipe! Bring 'Em On!:spank:
