Sam Rohrer brought his freedom movement -- the phrase he feels is more comprehensive than "tea party" -- to Newtown Square, tonight, Feb. 1, as he begins in earnest his campaign to be the Republican to take on incumbent Bob Casey in this fall's U.S. Senate race.
The nominee will be decided at the April 24 primary election. The Republican establishment has shamelessly endorsed Chester County businessman Steve Welch despite Welch having had voted for Barack Obama and given money to Democrat Congressman Joe Sestak.
Rohrer and others in the Knights of Columbus Hall on Route 252 described the apparently unprecedented pressure placed on the State Committee people by Gov. Tom Corbett and the party establishment to vote for Welch. Rohrer said he saw some of the committeepeople in tears from the intimidation which included threats of lost government jobs.

More about what the GOP-E did in Pa. to get an endorsement for an Obama-supporter to take on Casey for senator.
Bad enough you have to fight the damn democrats but you have these hack so called GOP types that are nothing but a good Old Boy Network
Pa. GOP endorses [Obama Supporter] Welch as a challenger for Casey
Welch will be the nominee. Gleason and his checkered-pants elites will see to that. If I didn’t want to flip the Senate so badly in 2012, I’d probably sit on my hands and let their latest loser flop.
In 2010, I served as a poll watcher at a local voting site along with several Republicans. When I told them that I had my doubts about Corbett and Toomey being actual conservatives, they looked at me like I had 10 heads.
Corrupt elites + uninformed party-line Republicans = me as registered Independent.
I know what you are saying and in this election if the GOP nominates Romney, Paul or Perez Hilton in the prez race I'm voting for it.
But in in the Senate race I think I will go third-party if Welch is the nominee.
At least Casey pretends to be pro life.
