Has there ever been a time where someone won every county in Pennsylvania?  I can't find a single election where that happened.

All but Philadelphia has been done a few times, most recently by Ridge in 1998. He lost Philadelphia 60-35. Specter lost only two (Philly and Somerset) in 1998.

Yes, I know all but Philly has been done, but that isn't "every county".

Republicans used to win there, but then the Democrats won some other counties.

I used to wonder that too.  The guy who ran against him was the State Senator from Somerset, and must have been very popular.

He was so unknown, I read somewhere that he had like 10% name recognition on election day.

Do you think he could have won if he was better known?  A Democrat getting over 60% in Somerset County is no small feat.

Interesting that there really doesn't seem to be any election whatsoever where one candidate won every county.  Might make Pennsylvania a candidate for "most polarized state".
