What about the base closings in the Western part of the state. Surely that won't help Santorum.
One in Allegheny county and one in the Philly suburbs. The two worst places it could happen for Santorum.
They were probably only hit because Pennsylvania voted for Kerry. If you look at all the base changes, Bush states gain jobs while Kerry states lose them. Pennsylvania unseating Santorum would just be asking for more punishment...
I beg to differ with that. Two states that Bush won that lost installations would be South Dakota and Alabama. South Dakota is slated to lose its second-largest employer and Alabama apparently is losing quite a bit. True, it is mostly Kerry states that are losing installations, but the Bush states are not immune. Oklahoma is losing 6 smaller installations, namely 5 Army and 1 Army NG installation and one semi-major installation -- Altus AFB in Southwest, Oklahoma is being realigned.
