From SUSA's Website:
West-Central
1    McKean       
2    Potter
3    Elk
4    Cameron       
5    Clinton       
6    Jefferson
7    Clearfield          
8    Centre    
9    Cambria       
10    Blair    
11    Huntington       
12    Somerset       
13    Bedford       
14    Fulton    

Basically, the region that is sometimes called "Pennsylvania's Alabama".  With the exception of a few counties - Cambria (Johnstown) and Centre (State College) immediately jump out - it's heavy Republican territory.
