I don't know internal Pa. state politics either, but generally it's considered pretty much a toss-up nationally. Gore and Kerry carried it in the '00 and '04 presidential races respectively (albeit closely). I've heard criticism that Rendell focuses a lot of political largesse on Philadelphia, at the expense of other parts of the state--but not being a resident don't know how true that it.
at this point, Swann, on the state level, is probably like Colin Powell was nationally in '96. Until he opens his mouth and declares issue positions, he can safely be "everybody's" candidate.

Very good point. He's handsome and telegenic, and that will be what sticks until he does declare issue positions.
