Surrogate City at Ohio GOP breakfast
U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., followed Pataki, firing up the crowd with strong words of support for Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Now it’s Lynn Swann’s turn. The former Pittsburgh Steeler and Pennsylvania Republican gubernatorial candidate is talking about covering the Iditarod sled race as a sports announcer.
“I’ve been to Wasilla,” he said. “I’ve seen that town. It’s small. But I tell you, you’ve gotta have some grit to be there, folks.”
He called Palin “a woman who stands for reform and change and who has gotten it done.”
Surrogates have been unanimous in having high praise for the embattled Palin, who has faced headlines about her desire for earmarks and her daughter’s personal life since she was nominated. All are touting her as a reformer who has taken on the Republican establishment. They’re preaching to the choir, however: The Ohio GOP delegates have been unanimously supportive of Palin and have said they’ve been energized by the pick, despite the headlines.
