I think that’s the only governorship to flip from Republican to Democrat last year.

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 T" of Pennsylvania demands that citizens arm themselves. Is the Southern Tier up for that?

The Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area is in red, the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area is in blue, and the "Pennsyltucky counties" are white.

jttpwalsh:" I realized one square block in Manhattan contained more Cuomo voters than all of the signs that I saw."

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.

There’s large swathes of the Pittsburgh metro area that are conservative. The big democrat strongholds are Allegheny and Beaver counties.
