PA and VA have manufacturing and blue collar Reagan Democrats who want someone to look after their interest as our country goes headlong into the global economy. Nobody in Washington addresses the impact of job losses from outsourcing, wage depression by H-1B workers and illegal immigrants. Whatever corporate America wants, Washington gives. Well the Dems got smart this time, they went into blue collar GOP districts with conservative candidates that offer increases in minimum wage and a review of CAFTA and other trade agreements. That is more than what the GOP is willing to offer them, so in 2006 many Reagan blue collar Democrats are willing to give the Dems a chance. Many of the GOP blue collar districts, the Dems won by small margins.

You can put Ohio on that list also. THAT was exactly why my district voted Dem., IMO.
