Swift to Pennsylvania for McCain

By Jeremy P. Jacobs, PolitickerMA.com Reporter

Former Gov. Jane Swift will campaign on behalf of Republican presidential nominee John McCain in Pennsylvania Sunday.

Swift, a North Adams Republican, is set to attend canvassing rallies in Harrisburg and Pottsville.

Swift endorsed McCain early in the Republican primary race this year and has been a frequent surrogate for McCain, especially since the Arizonan tapped Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Swift is the head of the "Palin Truth Squad," which has sought to debunk any rumors about the vice presidential nominee.
