Why the hell is Lehigh county trending right? Is this true?
More and more young professionals are moving into the area. Economic and social conservative families in the area. The days were unions used to be pretty powerful in the area are over.
Until the New York exurbanites come in, like in Monroe and Pike counties.
I think Phil is forgetting that factor. Lehigh stayed for the Dems, in fact, it went more for Kerry than Gore. Dent is also WAAY more moderate than Toomey and beat a carpetbagger. I don't know what the Democrats were thinking with Joe Driscoll.
I agree. Dent, unlike Toomey, is not an extreme-right-winger or a pro-"life" extremist. Dent actually is pretty close to the center, and he would have beat Rooney anyways.
