DescriptionPa. Republican gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann unveils new campaign weapon: A book

Seeking a new way to reach voters and to answer criticism that he has been vague on the issues, Republican gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann on Wednesday unveiled a new campaign weapon: A book.

The self-published book, co-written by a consultant who spent about two months on the campaign trail with the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, is essentially a compilation of the campaign's position papers on issues from taxes to transportation.

With three months to go before the Nov. 7 election, Swann could use the help: He has trailed his opponent, incumbent Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, in both the polls and in raising campaign cash.

The 143-page paperback is laced with attacks on Rendell and football analogies to describe his leadership style.
