It's why the GOP has lost the popular vote every cycle but 2004 since 1992. They think that winning an overwhelming majority among white voters is still a valid path to victory in an increasingly multiracial America. Pennsylvania is sort of the best state to symbolize said trends, and like a popular vote victory, and now electoral vote victory, is just out of reach for Republicans.

They don't even really win whites "overwhelmingly" so much as moderately well in the North then by ridiculous margins in the South.

Look, they will need it in 2016. I have said this many times now. With the strong Democratic trend in VA, they can't afford not to compete in PA.

I think VA is more realistic for the GOP than PA, really, even with the emerging trend.
