Herman Cain to Keynote 2011 PA Leadership Conference

Harrisburg PA – Herman Cain, likely Presidential candidate, radio talk show host and former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza will deliver the Keynote Address at the 2011 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference on Saturday, April 9th at 9:00 A.M.

Raised in Atlanta, Georgia by poor parents who survived by faith and hard work, Mr. Cain graduated from Morehouse College. After earning his Master’s Degree, he went to work for the Department of the Navy, the Coca Cola Company, and then Pillsbury’s Burger King Division. He took over Godfather’s Pizza as it teetered on the edge of bankruptcy. Mr. Cain returned the company to profitability and then sold it to a management team. He is currently a talk show host on WSB-AM/FM in Atlanta, Georgia and has formed a Presidential Exploratory Committee.

The 2011 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference will be held April 8th and 9th at the Radisson Penn Harris Convention Center in Camp Hill (Harrisburg), Pennsylvania.

Fox News Analyst and Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Dr. Charles Krauthammer is the conference’s featured dinner speaker. Also addressing the conference will be U.S. Senator Pat Toomey; Lt. Governor James Cawley; former Virginia Governor James Gilmore, now President of the Free Congress Foundation; Rose Tennent of the Quinn & Rose Program; John Gizzi of Human Events, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal, Tim Phillips of Americans for Prosperity and state senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman.

The Pennsylvania Leadership Conference is the premiere annual gathering each year of conservative activists from across the commonwealth. Known as “Pennsylvania’s CPAC,” the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference will also feature four interactive panel presentations, workshops, and over 40 exhibitors.

AFP’s State Director Sam Rohrer said, “While I am glad there are no recommended tax increases in this budget, this budget as proposed has a long way to go before it is constitutionally balanced. While some significant spending cuts were recommended, there are not enough to fix the overspending.”

What could become a political “perfect storm” appears to be lining up in Pennsylvania’s Gubernatorial Primary Election.

Statewide, chilling rain and increasing voter apathy has meant that voter turnout, which is normally low is primaries, is even lower than average. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette & the Philadelphia Inquirer are both reporting lighter than average voter turnout in their respective areas. The Harrisburg Patriot is reporting that Central Pennsylvania turnout is also extremely low.

Pennsylvania is one of 22 states that have a closed primary, meaning that only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in this election.

Initially, Republican candidate for Governor, Attorney General Tom Corbett, was viewed as the hands-on favorite to walk away with the primary win. Corbett, the catalyst behind the “Bonusgate” indictments had seen a wave of positive publicity from the high profile case. However charges last month, by attorneys representing “Bonusgate” defendants, that Corbett himself was guilty of campaigning on the public’s dime, brought negative attention at a critical campaign juncture.

State Representative Sam Rohrer, Tom Corbett’s challenger, brings several variables that could change the course of the election with him. Rohrer, who is considered substantially more conservative than Corbett, is strongly aligned with “Tea Party Patriots”. Passionate about their cause, the highly organized and extremely motivated “Tea Party” workers have helped Rohrer to mount a significant grassroots campaign. With the highly respected team of Jeff Coleman and Churchill Strategies running his campaign, Rohrer has proven to be a more formidable opponent than anyone could have predicted.

Polling in the Governor’s race has shown a high portion of undecided voters (varying from a low of 31% to a high of 66%). “Tea Party” members have privately indicated that when polled they were saying they were undecided in the race even though they support Rohrer. Internal polling done in the last 2 weeks by both campaigns has shown Rohrer’s support rising significantly putting him within striking distance of a win would appear to support this scenario.

The Corbett camp, led by GOP Operative and Corbett’s former Chief-of-Staff Brian Nutt, denies accusations that Corbett’s high profile cancellations of several events has anything to do with Rohrer’s polling strength. Campaign spokes persons have said scheduling conflicts were the chief reason for the cancellations, which included a previously scheduled appearance at the Manheim Republican Committee Breakfast earlier this month.

While it is unlikely that Sam Rohrer will win the primary, his candidacy could negatively impact Tom Corbett’s base going into the November election should Rohrer pull substantial numbers.
