Pat Buchanan should have egg on his face over Pennsylvania
I just analyzed almost every county, except for less than a handful that had less than 100% votes totaled, against Bush/Kerry percentages. Obama picked up a couple of counties Kerry didn't. He also improved on Kerry's margin. What is really impressive is that in the counties Bush won and McCain managed to win, Obama managed in probably 90%+ of those counties to lower the Repub win percentage substantially.

That doesn't speak of a racist vote to me. A lot of those white residents came over and voted for Obama this time.

1. Pennsylvania isn't as racist as Pat Buchanan.
Very few states are.

2. Listen . . .

The "Bradley Effect" was the most ridiculous, overdiscussed, overanalyzed, irrelevant, nonexistent factor in the entire presidential campaign. And that includes Joe the Dumber.

3. Exactly - and we had to live with this crap

since late winter/early spring. Occurs to me that Rendell and Murtha should have some egg on their face as well.

Young voters at Penn State must've really turned out. That county was 51.6 for Bush in 2004 - went 54.8 to Obama.

Thank you young voters in PA and all the other states.
