Remember 2008 when Sarah Palin said (not intended to be an exact quote...) “wait a sec, let’s not count PA out?” Obama eventually won the state but we see there is hope for the state once controlled by Ed rendell.

If the state GOP has any brains (debatable), it'll dismantle the dem crook machine, while also redistricting the states congressional make up.

The most important thing though, is ripping and gutting the corrupt casey/rendel fraud voting machine............

If Penn goes red in 2012, Obama has no prayer in Mecca.............

Fantastic. Now PLEASE do not give yourself a raise again in the middle of the night. That is how they lost it last time. I believe they learned their lesson. Of course this is a different group of folks who would not do something like that. Of course it was dumb for Pennsylvanian to elect Democrats just because of that one error in judgement. I remember when the voters elected the Dems. It did not take long for them to know that they made a huge mistake.

This is FANTASTIC!!!! : )

"The big question is, will they go along with Tom Corbett's agenda, which includes a lot of program and budget cuts?"

They better and Corbett better be as tough as Governor Christie. Tougher even...since unlike in NJ's case, both houses are now Republican.

That’s one vote that the People should have complete say over.

Damn right! It’s time for Repubs taking over state houses across the country to get off their asses and clean these states up. We’re not sending you guys there just to “occupy” the office.

And of course, our work is only beginning. We need to hold all these politicians’ feet to the fire and make sure they do what we sent them there to do.

Republicans riding the wave of anti-incumbent sentiment took control of both chambers of the legislature on Tuesday...

Smells like victory-1sm

The Rats are shovel-ready for the dust bin of history.

Now that the republicans control redistricting, they need to draw friendlier lines to hold has many seats as possible.

I'm so proud of our hard working, dedicated Pennsylvania Republican (and Independent) citizens. They turned out in force yesterday to vote. I recognized a lot of people I'd spoken with in my district, and the absentee voter list was heavily from my GOP list. Frail and elderly people came to the polls in great numbers with their canes, walkers and young relatives. They weren't all Republicans, but many were, and their determination put many younger people to shame.

Our candidates and their teams worked hard, and earned their victories. They are now challenged to go to Harrisburg and Washington and stay strong and lead our nation and our state wisely.

I am disappointed that our US House candidate, Dee Adcock, did not prevail against Allyson Schwartz. He ran a strong campaign, worked hard with integrity, and came up short in a very tough race. The district boundaries worked against him, as did her funding advantage, incumbency and Dem registration advantage. We can't win every race, but there's 2012 . . .

Repeal Obamacare immediately I am hoping, set the example for the rest of the country.

If I had to choose, I’d pick a Toomey win / Adcock loss than vice versa.

Still, Dee losing is hard to take. I cannot stand the carpetbagger Schwartz.
