I live in Lancaster County and the area unfortunately seems to be moving more toward the democrats. Conservatives in this area are becoming a “silent” majority.
Lancaster County has a large population of homegrown voters but we are also seeing a large influx of transplants as Philadelphia moves west and New York moves south.
My emotions have swung wildly during this campaign. I feel very few people feel threatened by Obama as they should. Obama does seem to have younger women that I am acquainted with interested in voting that have not voted before. On the flip side, my brother registered to vote for the first time and he will be voting for McCain.
Overall my perspective is Lancaster on a percentage basis will go higher for democrats this year than in the past. If this is the case I hope that gains in Western and Central Pennsylvania can offset these gains. Hopefully I am wrong and I will remain optimistic.
Even if McCain wins I worry for our country. The left seems to go unchallenged on corruption. Our local Republican party is moving toward RINO status and corporate welfare is running rampant.
I’ll continue to fight against the odds.
