From Philly.com:
HARRISBURG – White-haired and assured, a candidate from central casting, Attorney General Tom Corbett captured the endorsement for governor from the Republican State Committee today and assumed the leadership of a party brimming with confidence for across-the-board electoral gains in Pennsylvania.
But just down the hall, conservative state Rep. Sam Rohrer was holding a daylong counter-convention for his own campaign for the GOP nomination for governor, drawing 350 right-wing activists from evangelical churches, home-schooling associations and the anti-tax “Tea Party” movement.
It was a reminder that despite the balloon drops and cheering in the main ballroom, divisions remain between establishment Republicans and many of the grassroots conservatives the party needs for victory.
