The scranton area is an old coal mining region, very union and very democratic and very catholic....all three. It’s a generational thing. I grew up in a little town called Dunmore, Pa. just outside of Scranton. There was a joke that if you wanted your garbage collected in Dunmore you had to be democrat.

But it has a Republican governor and Senator Pat Toomey, as of 2010. It could happen.

Don't forget a Republican Sec. o' State.

I don't know if I pinged you to this link previously. It is the county summary of the democrat primary undervote. PA is a closed primary state, so this is quite significant. I believe PA is in play.

This is true but, still it hasn’t went red in over 20 years?

Had an old buddy from that general area. Gun clinging, pro life religious guy that voted democrat. Good American guy but so damn misguided politically.

Thanks for the link. Not much downside to campaigning out there. Coal country and Ohio right next door so to speak. It may be a feint but then again Romney may have the numbers that say Philly ain’t turning out 110% this year and the suburbs have come to their senses. Won’t be long now and we’ll know. I would like to go to one more inaugaration ball before I hit the clouds though. :-}

John W, I want to be proven wrong more than anything. Hopefully the state is getting more red thanks to the conservatives fleeing MD for lower taxes and lower cost of housing.

Ohio insurance. Obama has invested enormous resources into the Ohio ground game.

I found it particularly interesting that they quoted a 27-year old banker and an 18-year old college student, both with enthusiastic comments for RR. But I thought EVERYONE under 30 was an Obama fan.

Democrats ran as moderates appealing to suburban voters. That’s why PA has been a lock for them.

Obama is a hard core leftist and I don’t believe the suburban counties around PHL and PB have warmed up to him. No one really likes him.

And Romney feels he can win there. Expect him to spend more time in the PA-OH media market. He can campaign in both states on the same day.

They are not shaken in the media yet but they should be. It doesn’t look good for The One.
