While former Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is set to appear in Hershey for an event for the Pennsylvania Family Institute, voters are left wondering whether or not Jim Gerlach is going to avoid the appearance altogether.  Unfortunately for Jim Gerlach, however, Palin’s is one of the de facto leaders of the Republican Party, so his decision to hide from her appearance in Hershey may not really matter.  The Palin’s right wing Republican agenda was already rejected once by Pennsylvanians and is on track to be rejected again, regardless of whether or not Jim Gerlach decides to stand with her this evening.
“Where’s Jim Gerlach going to be tonight? Probably avoiding Sarah Palin and her right wing agenda at all costs,” said Mark Nicastre from the Pennsylvania State Democratic Party.  “Unfortunately for Jim Gerlach, Sarah Palin’s right wing agenda was already rejected once by Pennsylvanians.  Jim Gerlach should fully expect that agenda to be rejected again, regardless of whether or not he decides to appear with her tonight in Hershey.”
