Swanntorum

Lynn Swann and Pa Governor Ed Rendell had their first debate yesterday.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette describes some of the exchanges, and Swann seems to have deftly outmaneuvered the "greatest political mind in Pennsylvania history."

Rendell supporter John Baer, of the Philly tabloid Daily News, conceded that Swann batted and rattled Ed, but taunted that the governor's race was over anyway so it doesn't matter.

There were two opportunities for Senator Rick Santorum and challenger Bob Casey to debate yesterday, Bob Casey skipped both of them.

The first was a US Senator's Forum on PCN TV (our C-SPAN). There was actually an empty chair on hand, quite capably representing the challenger.

The second debate was at the same forum that Swann & Rendell squared off at. Again, there was an empty chair.

At one point while discussing foreign affairs, Santorum gestured to the empty chair and said, “I’d like to hear what my opponent has to say about this.”

Heh.
