I live here. It is Harrisburgh, Philly and Allegheny County that screw PA over time and time and time again. You get away from the “cities” or Allegheny County and it is very conservative (minus the district that dirtbag Murtha came from). The only problem is the parasites outnumber us and are spoon fed by KDKA and the likes every night none the wiser they are fleecing themselves in the long run. As soon as my youngest son is done with school I am leaving this state, but alas that is a few years down the line.
Actually a lot of Allegheny County is pretty conservative, once you get away from the City of Pittsburgh and burned-out milltowns along the riverbanks.
People in Murtha’s old district were in most ways VERY conservative. But were not against voting themselves huge swaths of the Federal Treasury in order to stay employed.
