Dan Nelms and his wife, Sue, were never active in politics.
“We weren’t even regular voters until a few years ago,” he confided.
Then in April, they heard Republican gubernatorial candidate Sam Rohrer speak at a town-hall meeting. They went away so impressed by Rohrer’s quiet, plain-talk brand of libertarian conservatism that they ended up going door to door for him in their suburban Lancaster neighborhood.
When Rohrer lost to Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett by more than a 2-1 ratio in the May 18 Republican primary, the Nelmses were bitterly disappointed – but not enough to go back into political hiding.
They are now among leaders of a very small but impassioned effort by some Rohrer fans to mount a write-in effort for their man in the Nov. 3 general election for governor.
