Sam Rohrer, the libertarian conservative firebrand who lost the Republican gubernatorial primary to Tom Corbett, will still be pulling in votes this fall thanks to an overly enthusiastic base of supporters.

Rohrer himself has declined to endorse the idea of a write-in campaign, pledging support to Corbett in November. At the same time, he hasn’t firmly put the kibosh on the idea, either.

Rohrer’s supporters understand he’s a long shot.
But those supporters, including Dan and Sue Nelms from Lancaster, say the time has come to get over the “stand with your party” mind-set and wipe out the notion that voters are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.
“We feel that ‘We the People’ of Pennsylvania can select better leaders for ourselves – ones that mirror our own principles and values, leaders that will stand up for us and not side with special interests,” Sue wrote in an e-mail. “We need to restore integrity and honesty to Harrisburg.”
The write-in effort is simply a continuation of getting his message out there. We personally believe that once anyone hears Sam, they know they should be voting for him.”
