This is the guy who's going to go up against Bob Casey Jr. who ousted Santorum. Probably going to be a tough fight since the Caseys are the closest thing to the Kennedys Pennsylvania has. Some PA freepers seem to be backing Sam Rohrer, others Tom Smith. I've been seeing ads from Tom Smith for months, just recently some from Steve Welch, and have never seen one for Sam Rohrer.
This link has some info on Welch, who registered as a Democrat, donated to Joe Sestak and voted for Obama in the Democrat primary (at the time Rush was running Operation: Chaos to get Republicans to vote for Hillary).

Sam Rohrer is seen as a hero by many in the TEA party and many senior citizens because he has--quite unsuccessfully--championed the total elimination of funding public education through property taxes.
He ran very distantly behind now-Governor Tom Corbett in the 2010 Primary.
Unfortunately most Rohrer supporters closely resemble the "True Believer" profiled in Eric Hoffer's book by that title.

Both Smith and Welsh are really Democrats with a lot of money. Rohrer is the real thing.
