Thanks, is there one Wiki page that summarizes that? I’d like to see that link.

It’s pretty amazing that Corbett won PA with almost 55% in 2010 and now lost to Wolf who got about the same 55%. Turnout was down 15%. Does anyone know how turnout overall this cycle compared to 2010?

In fact, Wolf got almost exactly the same amount of votes that the Democrat in 2010 got, 1.8 million both times. But Corbett lost 600,000 votes this time. So this really does seem like a Romney-esque case of Corbett losing the base.
