PA voters leave GOP for Dems in droves (Pitt. Post-Gazette this AM)
clips:

"Recent Republican losses in Pennsylvania have been spurred by defections from among the party's more affluent and better-educated voters."

"Forty-six percent said they were closer to the Democratic Party on taxes, and 38 percent said they were closer to the Democratic Party's position on issues such as gay marriage and abortion and roughly a third agreed with the statement, "The influence of the religious right on the Republican Party's social positions led me to leave the party.""

3. All through the fall, various know-nothings on DU were claiming that PA would be close
I said Obama would win by 8-10. He won by 11%.

PA is a blue state, and any claims to the contrary are Republican propaganda pure and simple. PA is nearly as out of reach for the GOP as New Jersey.
