Republicans yet to step up to the plate against Casey

Despite his modest fundraising, no Pa. Republicans have announced taking on the challenge of running against Sen. Casey, Politico reports:

Top-tier Republicans in Pennsylvania are passing on a shot at challenging Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, increasing the likelihood that the road to GOP control of the chamber will bypass the Keystone State.

Despite the GOP’s massive electoral gains last year, the two most viable potential candidates, Reps. Jim Gerlach and Charlie Dent, intend to stay out of the race, according to Republicans familiar with their plans. Few Republicans expect Rep. Tim Murphy, another possible contender, to mount a campaign.

“Whoever wants to be that candidate is going to have to make an announcement pretty darn soon,” said longtime GOP strategist Charlie Gerow. “I don’t think this is the kind of thing where you can wait until late 2011 to roll the car out of the garage.”

“I know there are some CEOs who are poking their nose around,” one top state Republican operative told POLITICO. “At the end of the day, there’s no way we don’t run a serious candidate — maybe not an A-plus candidate but someone.”

  1. Hi, I found your site on search engine Yahoo. You have a really nice website. Bye

  2. Snakehandler, You’re about as ignorant as they come. First, there was nothing illegal about the voting for that pay raise – that’s the procedure that is provided by the legislation that was already in place. The only thing illegal about it was the methods that various legislators and other officials used to collect what they unilaterally decided was theirs to take. Those takers included Tom Corbett and all the Democrats in the Berks delegation. Rohrer was the leader of the movement to have the raise repealed and he never accepted any of the amount of the raise. As for the pension increase, that vote was based on the best information available at the time the increase came up for a vote. It was information was based on information provide by the Democratic controlled House of Representatives. Guess you’ll have to redirect your vitriolic venom at your favorite Demoncrat.

  3. Anyone would and should be qualified to defeat the unions’ poster boy, Bob Casey.

    Sam Rohrer must be a very viable candidate, otherwise we would not have the typical Progressive hate-speech included in the previous post.

    To the person who posted the hate-filled rhetoric on Mr. Rohrer I would suggest he/she review Casey’s record. There has not been a spending bill that he has not endorsed or sponsored; he has an F- rating on illegal immigration; and, as teachers and schools are being defunded Casey opts to introduce a bill that would further enable the Marxists’goal of indoctrinating pre-school children, while expecting patriotic Americans to pay for their betrayal.

    Illegal aliens cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year and in PA we are taxed to the tune of $1.4 billion/yr just to educate, incarcerate, and medicate them. Casey, and any other elected/appointed officials who aid and abet illegal aliens are in violation of federal law and should be removed from office – not re-elected. Pennsylvanians would be rewarded for the past years of dereliction of duty on the part of our elected officials were we to replace Bob Casey with Sam Rohrer.

  4. Ok, it’s time that Sam Rohrer was called out for being the snakehandling phony that he is. “I wouldn’t rule it out” is a classic line from a career politician who just can’t get enough of the lime light. I wonder how Mr. Koch, who just shoveled out a major amount of money to have Rohrer run Americans for Prosperity, feels about Sam Rohrer’s coy line? Let’s remember some facts…Sam Rohrer voted for the illegal midnight pay raise. Worse, he traded his pay raise vote for a vote on one of his bills, which is blatant pay to play if not outright bribery in our hallowed statehouse. Sam Rohrer not only participated in the unconstitutional state pension, he voted for the 50 percent increase in that pension for himself that will cause regular people’s property taxes to shoot through the roof. Sam Rohrer is a career politician the likes of which would make our Founders sick, especially when he always takes their name in vein. Mr. Rohrer, you’re pathetic. You care about yourself and making money first and foremost. Step off the stage, you phony. Get out there and get a real job to pay those property taxes that are higher thanks to you and your pension increase that we’re all paying for.
