Gov Corbett lost Pennsylvania because he signed a bill raising the PA gasoline tax 27 cents a gallon (across 3 years) on top of the 52 cents that Pennsylvanians were already paying. This state will soon have one of the highest gas tax in the nation.
This is the MAIN reason that Corbett lost. It also did not help him that many Penn State fans blame for the firing of Joe Paterno when Corbett was the Attorney General during the Jerry Sandusky fiasco.

He might have won if he had jailed Paterno along with Sandusky. But Paterno beat him to it and just died, the miserable little enabler.

The CT Socialist (Malloy) also presided over the biggest tax increase in state history, including an increase in the gas tax. Energy costs more in CT than in most any other state. Further, the 2nd amendment was stomped on. Yet the clueless voters of CT still sought little reason to oust this Mini-Obama. Yes, no doubt, the cheaters in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford made this more likely, and Foley was as bland a candidate as one could imagine. However, the CT voters certainly weren’t in the same mindset as their Pennsylvanian counterparts.
