How come Corbett lost? That seems like a shocker to me.
The Washington County web site has Corbett over Wolf 51.6 to 48.2.

We’ll stonewall, block, impede, and otherwise shove it up his keister.
Especially if he and his lunatic AG Kane try any gun control bullsh*t.
We survived Rendell, we’ll survive this assclown.
BAd news, but the GOP picked up a couple of governorships in blue states and may get one more.
Is this the only slot for governor or Congress that actually switched from red to blue in this election? Reports also say Corbett is the only PA governor in history not to win a second term. What a legacy. The results weren’t even close.
The gas tax was a joke considering this is already somewhere around the top 10 highest-taxed states in the nation. The tax situation here is heading solidly in the direction of NY and NJ no matter which party gets elected. So if he lost on the “no new taxes” angle like Bush 1, that seems fitting. Of course none of the news articles are even mentioning that as a reason.
From what I can tell, the electorate in Pennsylvania is saying we want a bunch of government services but we want the state to tax businesses, not us, for them. The maturity to accept cuts in government services is simply not there.
In 2016, the Republican presidential candidate should completely write off Pennsylvania. McCain and Romney spent a lot of time here which went nowhere. This election should be the nail in the coffin as far as running a presidential campaign here.
