Correct.

BonosSaint said:PA is basically conservative /moderate democrat. I can't see it going Republican for the general, particularly with the worsening economy here. I don't see it as a runaway though. Last election was close, but we had two Republican senators at the time. Now we've got one and the Republicans consider him a RINO. There is definitely an increase in Democratic registration.

Correct.

Strongbow said:Democratic registration has increased, but these are Democrats who are more conservative politically and are not against crossing party lines and voting for a Republican.

but, more importantly
the Dems in Texas have a crazy ass weighted delegate thing
where the legal brown American voters that trend for Hillary will not get as many delegates as other people.

Strongbow said:
What I meant to say was that most Democrats in the state in general tend to be more conservative politically, I'm not sure about newly registered Democrats specifically.
Simply looking at election results from the past several decades and party identification, plus how many states have Democrats that would rally around a pro-life Democrat for Governor, you can tell that Democrats in PA on average are more conservative than those further North or out West.
Hell Andrea Mitchell just mentioned to Chris Matthews that Democrats in Pennsylvania are a different breed.

BonosSaint said:I'm saying we didn't go Republican when we had two Republican senators and there is a shift now even more toward Democrat. The unemployment rate does not take into account the underemployed rate, of people working for less now than they did a few years ago. Trust me, it's a factor.

i haven't posted here but i've been reading. this post really rubs me the wrong way. do you think your racist labels really add substance to this?

But PA is moving in the Dem direction, that's the thing. The economy is beginning to feel the drag here, and people are going Dem as a result.
You keep bringing up the abortion issue, but it's honestly not as big of an issue as you think here.
Strongbow said:
The abortion issue is not an issue for the general election in Pennsylvania at all. But, the fact that Democrats in the state would support a pro-life candidate for Governor of their party shows you that Democrats in Pennsylvania tend to be much more conservative than your average Democrat in most other states.
The polls with McCain as the Republican nominee show things moving in the REP direction at the moment. McCain is a Republican that many Pennsylvania Democrats could vote for.
On the economy, Pennsylvania overall is doing well relative to the rest of the country and especially when compared with Ohio, Missouri and Michigan.

Are you talking about Casey again? He hasn't been governor in over a decade.
Strongbow said:
Doesn't matter. It simply shows how Democrats in Pennsylvania on average are more consevative than Democrats to the north and further west.
Irvine511 said:way to go, Democrats.
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, ensuring that there's going to be weeks and weeks of nasty Clintons, all while McCain bides his time and has the Dems do the dirty work for them. and what's terrible, is that the math remains in Obama's favor. it will still be very hard for her to win. so what do they do? destroy the party.
