Governor Swannie

I never cheer for Steelers, but I could make an exception in this case.

HARRISBURG -- Former Steelers wide receiver Lynn Swann has a new team to play for -- Team 88, a campaign committee he set up this week as evidence of his increasing seriousness about exploring a run for governor in 2006.

Swann, who lives in Sewickley and works as a college football analyst on ABC-TV, filed papers with the state Department of Elections to create Team 88, named after his number with the Steelers.

Formation of the political committee will allow Swann to begin raising and spending money as he decides whether to compete for the Republican gubernatorial nomination next year.
