PA is trending red and isn`t fools gold anymore in 2016
I suppose OH PA and Va by this order will fall in line how the nation goes
In 2012 it wanst much of a target by Romney and he did very well
Romney spent money going on the offensive in PA that Democrats knew wasn't serious enough to need defense. If Republicans were seriously going to contest PA, Democrats would spend exorbitant amounts on defense and deny Republicans that victory.
This fantasy where PA becomes more Republican than the nation is just that. There's only so much you can max out on the declining western part of the state. And what appeals there doesn't appeal to Democratic areas in the east.
