See the county by county map:

McCain counties are blue, Obama counties are commie red. The only red counties in the west are dominated either by cities (Pittsburgh and Erie) or libtard university towns (Indiana and State College).

It was James Carville who famously said; " Pennsylvania is Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between."

[Buckeye McFrog]

Actually Indiana County is blue on that map.
The red county is Cambria County, where virtually everyone earns their living off some type of federal pork brought to the area by the late John Murtha.

This is an observation from a guy down here in Texas, but, due to the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State scandal, I think the population there will begin dropping dramatically. Now, there is talk of them not only being punished in the Athletic Department, but perhaps losing some of their Accreditation. (Heard it on Rush last week.) Look for a decline, this Fall, in the population in Universtiy Park, PA and other areas of the State where they have one of the 19 common wealth campuses and 5 special-mission campuses. Just the fall off from the Penn State population's liberal vote, could help the GOP in a close Election. But, then, PA breaks our heart every 4 years. We think: "This might be the year that PA goes Republican in the Presidential Race." And, it never happens.
