I think that the dems had a really good GOTV this year. In my district, (D) Altmire just beat incumbent (R) Hart. This is a huge upset. Everyone I spoke to today said that the lines were the longest ever at the polls in this district, which is conservative dem. For instance, I am usually voter 10-20..this year I was 164. Same for my wife, and the inlaws.

I think that the dems have learned something from the trouncing over the past few elections.

What the hell happened to Hart?? Even the NY Times rated her as safe before. That is a blow since the pro life movement supported her.

I think the GOP GOTV may have outsmarted itself.
It looks like a lot of those pubbies voted for the donk.

All those conservative Dems like by brother and sister-in-law just loved "coming home" voting for Casey and Altmire - the first Dems on the national ticket they voted for since Reagan won them over. The conservative movement, what there was of it in PA, is worse than buried because they are so brain dead they won't even notice when both of them vote to keep partial birth abortion.

I agree. Big turnouts in the Ohio suburbs of all voters. I'm also wondering if a lot of evangelicals on our side sat out this race. I know a few who are adamantly opposed to Bush and Iraq, who were adamantly for both just a few years ago.
