If Gerlach vacates seat, Roggio gives himself a 50-50 chance of running again

By Dan Hirschhorn, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

In the early hours of Election Day in November, it looked like Democrat Bob Roggio had a fighting chance of upsetting incumbent U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-West Pikeland). The returns from the bluer, Montgomery County parts of the 6th Congressional District were coming in early, and Roggio was sporting a lead in a race few gave him a chance of winning.

But Gerlach did well in Chester and Berks Counties, and once again narrowly defeated his Democratic opponent in the increasingly Democratic district.

Corbett campaign in the red, for now

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett is described by most in the GOP as the party's front-runner for its gubernatorial nomination in 2010 after a surprisingly comfortable re-election victory this fall.

But his campaign has a hitch: It's out of money.

A 30-day post-election campaign finance report filed with the state shows the Friends of Tom Corbett Committee with just $77,000 on hand after spending about $1.9 million this election cycle. It also has $85,000 in debt, putting the committee in the red.

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

NEW YORK -- Those attending the three-day Pennsylvania Society can often speak with an urgency about a candidate or campaign that makes Election Day might seem like only a day away, not two years away.

"I think what happens here is people lose perspective," the rumored GOP gubernatorial candidate said shortly after the Pennsylvania Society Dinner ended.
