Err. Well. Although PA-12 was rated a Republican leaning district House | The Cook Political Report and the GOP candidate lost by 8 basis points voters are still very very furious about Obamacare and they will overthrow the Democratic Party in a wave of elections in November. Never mind this is the 7th House election since November 08 and Democrats have one every single one.

What happened was the weather was very very good on election day and minorities don't mind walking down to the polling places on good weather days. Most whites of course work and will be out and about come rain or shine. Also I've heard ACORN was able to infiltrate some polling places conducting voter fraud.

Onward to victory! Palin/Joe The Plumber 2012

I'm not sure exactly what you're insinuating, but it appears that liberals are PO'd that the current crop of liberals aren't being liberal enough. As such, it sounds like to me the left is happy to get rid of the DINO's in favor of those candidates that say they can/will stand up to the coming slaughter by the GOP in November. Sestak over Specter comes to mind. Blanche Lincoln forced into a runoff comes to mind. I see it as a last ditch effort by liberals to salvage what little remains of the Democratic majority. It will be for naught. Rand Paul's victory in Kentucky is a nice preview of what's to come for both parties.

I think it's more an anti-incumbent that anti-democrat mood out there. Neither side has stood up for us, cut spending, secured the border. I want them all out. No preference on either side.

Complete nonsense.

A district with 2-1 Dem registration, a seat that has been in dem control for over 30 years, a hotly contested Senate primary, all in a blue state that has been blue for the last 20 years.....and the Left wants to try and convince the sane that a win by the GOP was a foregone conclusion? This district is a heavy union democrat district, one that would have been nice to pick up but does of things to come.

I think not. Try another narrative.

Not so fast here. Take a look at this link:

Pennsylvania's 8-year itch

Like clockwork, the governorship here has switched between Democrats and Republicans every eight years since 1954. Two political analysts recently calculated the odds of the cycle simply being a fluke at longer than 5,000 to 1.

Here is PA's congressional delegation. In the House of Reps:

19 seats

10 Dem (now 11)

7 Rep.

Congress.org - : State Delegation

So much for blue, blue, blue.
