The LuLac Edition #11-May 21th, 2006

NEWS OF THE DAY............GOP candidate for Governor Lynn Swann has been pressured by members of his own party to offer specifics in his fight against Ed Rendell for the Commonwealth's top job. Those specifics might come Monday when Swann addresses the Capitol Press Club at the downtown Hilton in Harrisburg. GOP leaders have been clamoring for a more specfic Swann plan. Many want Swann to get into specifics to blunt the statement made by former Lt. Governor Bill Scranton that Swann's candidacy was like a Las Vegas wedding, exhilirating at first, but then ending in disappointment. We'll know if there are specifics by Monday night.

State Rep Phyllis Mundy made herself very visable yesterday in Pringle when WWII vets were honored for their service. Mundy got some face time on the evening news and greeted each of the honorees at the special service on Armed Forces Day. It will be interesting to see how her GOP opponent John Cordara runs his race against the multi year incumbent who did vote for the payraise.

Here's a wrap of all the vote totals for the state rep races. Every race is here except for the 118th GOP battle which is still in play.
