For 2 main reasons:
1. Corbett signed into law a totally unnecessary gas tax increase, which Wolfie cynically demagogued in his campaign ads
2. A perception (promulgated by our corrupt b***h of an AG Kathleen Kane) that Corbett was somehow complicit in covering up the Penn State/Jerry Sandusky scandal, which ultimately led to the firing of the much-beloved Joe Paterno
And Corbett's unwillingness to defend himself (ala GWB) played a role too.
The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area is in red, the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area is in blue, and the "Pennsyltucky counties" are white.
He alienated the teachers union, the SAFE ACT citizens (many of whom are now criminals),WorkingFamilys, and the Commies of NYC.
He even had to invent a new party just to split the vote, thus assureing the victory.
That is why the GOP election funds that Christy withheld would have allowed a decent representation for Asterino (R candidate) and a probable Governor change.
Cuomo's relection money came from downstate NYC , realestate investors, and those who would benefit from 'rent stabilization' at rates from the 1980's.
Christy's actions, by not giving money to Asterino's GOP Governors campaign, assured Cuomo's victory.
Chirsty is a RINO , should be listed as a Demorat, and cannot be trusted by anyone.
Christy facilitated Cuomo's (D,-NY) re-election.
Half expecting a real life version of 10-289 pretty much anytime.
I knew the GOP candidate was doomed, but did not realize how complicit the NJ Governor was, in the deed. Thanks for your reply.
Hey, what's the big deal? You got sumthin to hide, citizen?
There’s large swathes of the Pittsburgh metro area that are conservative. The big democrat strongholds are Allegheny and Beaver counties.
