Republican clout on the rise ... we’ve always been here.

Yech! Ack! Barf!

The big change has been in the Philly suburbs, which have been trending Democratic since the late 80s, but over the past two years have seen the largest increase in GOP registration of any region of the state (per Michael Barone). He who wins Montco/Delaware/Bucks/Chester wins the state, especially if turnout is high elsewhere in the "T."

Yes, voter fraud in Filthadelphia is a problem, but what really killed the GOP in national elections was the shift of the suburban counties to the Dems. Since Obama is not a "New Democrat" like Clinton, many of the ditzy haus fraus appear to be waking up.
