“Exploratory committees almost always are precursors to full-fledged campaigns, though Gerlach said Thursday’s announcement was not tantamount to a declaration of candidacy. He issued a written statement saying he would take the next few months to “speak with political, business and community leaders, help our 2009 statewide judicial candidates, conduct polling and determine if there is a clear path to victory.”
“I suspect that by late spring we’ll know whether to formally move forward with a campaign for governor,” he added.”
He really does see the writing on the wall. His House seat should be a relatively straight-forward pickup in an open seat no?
Take a guess who comes out on top in the GOP primary.
From what I’ve heard, AG Tom Corbett is the frontrunner, and US attorney Meehan is a top contender as well.
+1 for D’s in the House.
But this is very promising. I can’t wait.
