Ok folks, here is how the PA Senate race is shaping up. On the primary ballot we have: David Christian, John Kensinger, Sam Rohrer, Marc Scaringi, Tom Smith and Steve Welch
From what I have gathered talking to some local politicians, it is pretty much going to be a contest between Rohrer and Welch. Welch has a lot of the establishment backing, Rohrer has the name recognition. A lot of libertarian-leaning folks backed Rohrer in the gubernatorial primary against Corbett. He seems to line up with a lot of what we are looking for in a candidate. I would classify him as a paleo-con, more so than a libertarian, but there is nothing wrong with that. Scaringi is a great guy on paper, but he has like zero name recognition and very little money. This is his first shot at running for office, and as you know in PA trying to win the state as a rookie candidate is nearly impossible.
So where do we go? Do we put our money & time behind a guy that has no chance of winning? Or do we back a guy that may only be 90% of what we are looking for, but has a far more realistic shot at winning the primary and competing in the general against Casey? Bear in mind that we have 7 weeks before we vote.
