Chester County, PA: Can it be turned blue?

[bluestateguy]

I noticed that Chester County gave John Kerry 47.5% of its votes, the highest margin for a Democratic presidential candidate since LBJ in 1964. The other Philadelphia suburban counties continued their movement into the Democratic camp in 2004.

I've never been outside of Philadelphia before, so I need you all to educate me here. What's been going on in Chester County that has been nudging the county into the Democratic camp? Are there any indicators that it might go blue in 2008?

1. My niece and nephew just moved there from Montgomery County

(from an apartment to a town house) the demographics are getting more "techie" and less "horsey set." Getting more like Montgomery County.

2. Friends of mine live in Chester County - "Leave No Child Behind"

A friend works for Social Security for a long time, and in the past 12 years never uttered a WORD about politics.

With his 4 kids in the public school system, he saw the *BS* that it was, and similiar to me, WOKE UP.

He said that all the other parents can see the stupidity in the act (starting with all schools having to be "above average" when, by definition, 1/2 MUST be "below average"....

Xmas time, he was going on and ON about the BS that the B* was doing, as he's WOKEN UP!
