Political Breakdown of your county

Cumberland County, Pennsylvania

Basically everything from around Mechanicsburg to the Susquehanna River is very suburban...everything west of Mechanicsburg is rural although there is some suburban development around Carlisle.

Every borough and township in the county voted for Bush, although oddly enough slightly less then surrounding townships north, west and south of the county. It's as if politics change to slightly more Republican once you cross the border into the neighboring counties. The only exception is the city of Harrisburg, which borders the county to the east on the other side of the Susquehanna River. Harrisburg votes very Democratic. The boroughs in the eastern end of the county are barely Republican, and trending Democrat as minorities move in from across the river. There is also a "latte liberal" presence, most notably in Camp Hill. The rest of the county is rural and votes rather strongly Republican, though slightly less in the borough of Carlisle due to the presence of a law school and a few hispanic and black neighborhoods.
