They haven't added Indiana yet. I'm hoping for the day when all 50 states lose their yellow and escape the tyranny of union thugs. Right to Work means Freedom!

How can it be that Pennsylvania, the state with the most precious historical legacy of all, has produced only one president?
This is the land of Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin, the Declaration of Independence, George Washington crossing the Delaware, Valley Forge, the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights, the most pivotal battle in the Civil War, three cities that served as the nation's capital, etc.
And the best we could do in 223 years is James Buchanan, widely considered to be one of worst presidents America ever had?
Robert P. Casey Virginia has had eight presidents, including three of our greatest — Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison — although William Henry Harrison grew up in Ohio after being born in Virginia, and some feel that gives Ohio the right to claim eight. Even a historical chancre like Texas has more than Pennsylvania.

For those interested.
Har!
Newt Gingrich was born in Pennsylvania and lives in Virginia.
Okay, actually Santorum also lives in Virginia now, but it sounded better the other way.
Pennsylvania wasn't as big on politics as Virginia or Ohio or Massachusetts or New York or Texas were. Pennsylvanians were more interested in making money, raising their children, living their lives.
Some people have related that to the Quaker heritage. There's also the practical spirit of the Germans and Scots-Irish, who weren't as big on rhetoric as the English.
Damn.... call a "spade" a "SPADE"....
Samtorum and not some wooooosie fake from the Donkey party.... That is the solution......
Rick Santorum will never be Pennsylvania’s next President. He will lose in a landslide if he is nominated. If he gets the GOP nomination, Donald Trump will run on a Third Party and Santorum will come in third. (See my tagline.)

Indiana is going to flip from Blue to Red in November also as Hoosiers will turn out bigtime to vote for Mike Pence for Governor and Richard Mourdock for Senate.
The first Pennsylvania-born President did such a great job it’s hard to understand how 156 years have gone by since a Pennsylvania native won the Presidency.
I may be way too optimistic but with Indiana's turn to the right and with Right to Work a reality, there's actually a small glimmer of hope for places like Gary. I see enterprising individuals and corporations fleeing the union goons and political tugs of Chicago and setting up shop in nearby places along Lake Michigan. Sure, it's a dream but perhaps not so far-fetched now as it was before Indiana got on track.
Btw, how many presidents were born in Michigan?
Hi Drudge!
I’m sure the Texans here will be thrilled with that horse sh*t.
I believe you’re right.
Just the stuff we’ll steal from Mich, Oh, and Ill is enough to have a pretty prosperous state.
Caterpillar shutting down their union locomotive factory in Canada and moving it to Muncie is a good indicator of what we’ll see.
Don’t be too hasty to call Buchanan one of America’s worst presidents.
Obama hasn’t finished his term yet.
I can't think of any off the top of my head. And Romney won't be the first.
Zero. Gerald Ford was born in Omaha, Nebraska as Leslie King, Jr.
I wonder who Dede Scozzafava is backing.
