Swann's primary opponent strikes back.

Bill Scranton fired the first shot at the former ALL-Pro. "Lynn's candidacy is 18 days old," Scranton said yesterday. "Eighteen days and he's asking Republican leaders for unqualified support as an unknown, untested, first-time candidate for public office."
Scranton is frustrated at Swann's success in winning endorsements from state leaders and his refusal to participate in an debate later this week.
Party leaders will endorse a candidate on Feb. 11.
