Unfortunately, on the national stage, PA is becoming more and more reliably Democrat. I’m already calling PA for Obama in 2012. I have no idea what’s up with PA people...you talk to them and they clearly fit the more conservative, Republican profile but they vote Dem Dem Dem.
The weird thing is the Republicans are doing well in the House races. Fitzpatrick (R) looks like he will beat Murphy (D)...and that’s in North East Philadelphia itself. Weird.
