Discussion: Marc Scaringi or Sam Rohrer

[Brian4Liberty]

Why didn't you vote for Evan Feinberg?

Lives in a different District?

Hopefully everyone has seen the Congressional candidates thread:

Nope. He is in the same district because Tim Murphy is his opponent.

I've though Smith was going to win for a while now. I voted for Scaringi.

I'm actually OK with Scaringi, Rohrer or Smith in the general. I don't like Christian or Welsh at all.

Update:

CHRISTIAN, DAVID ALAN (REP) 100 8.4%
SCARINGI, MARC A. (REP) 73 6.1%
WELCH, STEVEN D. (REP) 202 17.0%
SMITH, TOM (REP) 432 36.2%
ROHRER, SAM (REP) 385 32.3%

As of right now, it looks like a tight race between Rohrer and Smith. Let's hope the Scaringi vote doesn't screw over Rohrer.

 

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Damn Scaringi vote. Hope Sam pulls it out.

ROHRER, SAM (REP) 5,747 19.4%

Yuck!

Looking like the Scaringi votes may not matter anyways. Money seems to be everything in politics.

Yes, it seems so. Smith isn't bad, like Welch was, so I can vote for him in November. It doesn't look like Pinto will win Auditor General either. If I looked at the delegates correctly too, it looks like I am 0 for 9 this election season. Oh well....try again next time.

Smith threw a ton of his own money at the race. Looks like it paid off for him.

I can live with him. Wonder if he has a chance against Casey?

A lot of that depends on how Obama is doing in PA come November. If Smith can run a strong campaign against Casey, and Obama is getting his ass kicked, then Smith may be able to take the state on Romney's coattails.

I was handing out delegate cards all night and was there with my state rep. We spent some time talking about this race. He said he liked Rohrer, but he ran against Corbett last time. It was Corbett's "turn". And because of this, they threw Rohrer under the bus. Basically, he said Rohrer could have had this race, but he pissed off the PAGOP by not falling in line.

This is what they do. If you want to win, you need to play their game. They own the game. They set the rules. And they decide who gets what office.

This night has really been an awakening into how strong the establishment really is. I'm still a little tired and not sure how to put this all together right now, but the parties control the voters. They own us and can make us do their bidding. And the people will do what the party tells them to do. They've got it all sewn up.

What it comes down to is that most people are sheep. It's too bad everybody didn't pile on for Rohrer and campaign really hard for him and stuff. I came into it too late, too distracted by the presidential spectacle.

I did the same thing I am disappointing that Sam did not make it and now we will have another guy with his own ajenda

If they were sheep Welch would have won. He was the state party endorsed candidate.

Smith is fairly wealthy, not particularly objectionable and used both to his advantage. I figured he was going to win. Rohrer and Scaringi combined wouldn't have beat him.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Bummer. The Liberty movement needs to get behind one candidate in the Primaries and fund them. That's the only way to win.

So what is the deal with Smith? his campaign Issues page isn't very specific on where he stands. I have been assuming all along that this guy is a neocon. am i wrong?
