First of all, I didn't know that L. Swann was an Alpha.
Secondly, this isn't surprising -- the country overall is not left-leaning anymore, and as some blacks become better off, their politics may change. I've heard of several black former football players being GOP/conservative.
What will be interesting is if he's going to be a center-right or hard-right guy. I am not familiar with Pennsylvania's politics, as an aside. I just kind of compare it with the Guvernator out here, who did the centrist thing, but tried to play to the red-meat right with the special elections, and flamed out spectacularly.
