Wainwright County

Upland textiles area with a growing amount of commuters and retirees. Mostly small towns but with a large-ish suburban area (mostly middle class to upper middle class) in the northeast of the county. Large Evangelical population. Traditionally a modestly affluent area.

J. J.:  Most of the textiles are produced in the US South.  Possibly a conservative southern Democrat for Congress, but has voted GOP since 1980 in the presidential elections.

Armstrong County

A collection of small and very working class old coal towns with a large and remote rural area that used to be a metal mining centre. Large Evangelical population.

J. J. :  This sounds like WV.  It is a swing district, but would elect conservative Democrats.

Maudling County

An affluent area made up mostly of oldish middle suburbs. Has a fairly large Jewish population in parts but isn't an especially religious area on the whole.

J. J. :  Montco type liberal Republican at best.  Would have voted Democrat in the last 4 presidential election.  This is almost PA-13.

Spa Township

A very rich town surrounded by rich agricultural areas. Increasingly a base for affluent commuters and has no real industrial base.

Also similar to parts of PA-13.  Same as above.

You also forgot PA 13 includes NE Philly.  Politics of that area: !@#$%^&*()?  You never know from one day to the next or from one door to the next or even within a household.

Two more...

Worstedopolis

At the heart of a textiles producing region, Worstedopolis has suffered severely from the decline of that industry and is now one of the poorest cities in the nation.
The city has a large minority population in parts (especially in the west) and there's been tension between it and the white majority, although things appear to have cooled down in the past year or so. The city has a large Evangelical population (especially towards the south) and unions are strong.

Cobblers City

A former minor industrial centre, Cobblers is now a high growth area on the edge of exurbia with thousands of new homes going up every year.

the former probably voting democrat national and local till Reagan, and trending republican since.  Especially in presidential races.  Probably Kerry by a nose.

the latter  split fairly evenly between the two parties, with a respectable minority of libertarians.  Probably Bush by 5 or 6 percent.
