What the hell are you talking about, Texas has to overcome Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and El Paso; your/Pen. problem seems to be rural democrats who can't overcome the urban idiots like Texas can.

Wrong.

There are few "rural" Democrats in PA.

Johnstown isn't rural. That's Big Labor Country. Call them bitter-clingers and they don't care.

There is only one "swing" area in PA. That is the old coal region around Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. That is largely ethnic Catholic, there are some traditional morality people there who have gone for Santorum and Toomey.

The reason PA has turned is because of the Philadelphia suburbs, which used to be Republican territory. Those five highly populated counties turned in the early nineties and have not turned back.

Look at the last election map. The rural areas went RED.
