Strange how Obama got every vote in Philadelphia. That sounds fishy. And in western and central pa there were vote Romney and fire Obama signs everywhere.

It sounds fishy, indeed.
In fact, it sounds so fishy that you're undoubtedly peddling false information.
You know what's really iinteresting? This is a thread about PREDICTING how people in Pennsylvania would vote in 2012 - here it is, 15 months later, and even though we know exactly what happened during that election you're still getting in wrong!
It was fun to step back in time and see people making predictions for the 2012 election.
While I don't fancy myself a clairvoyant nor a savvy political pollster I knew the Keystone State would go for Obama. The old stereotype "Philly in the east, the 'Burgh in the west and Alabama in the middle" does not accurately describe PA politics. You see, besides Philly and the 'Burgh there are solid Democratic regions scattered around the state: the Lehigh Valley: Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton (I'm a former Eastonian before moving to Philly); the Wyoming Valley: Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Pittston, Nanticoke; Erie (4th largest city in PA); Harrisburg (the state capital), etc.
Republicans tend to do well on off year elections for local offices, but Democrats fare better in the Presidential races.

Well, hey. I used to live in NEPA before settling in south-central PA. The only people that knew PA was going to go blue are those of us that live here, lol

I live in Bama and married a central PA gal. You are DEAD WRONG. Take away Phily and Burgh and a "weak" Romney candidate still wins by 10 points.
Moral of the story is: central PA has sound values just like Alabama. I can vouch for that.
The moral is that more people with sound values live in central PA than in Philly or Pittsburgh.
Do you have a map that shows that and how do you gage "morals?" I have been in Philly this weekend and it seems like their are lots of friendly moral people living here, so I think you assessment of morals might be wrong.

As always, the majority rules. Population centers carry more weight than the "middle of nowhere" rural sections. As they should, since everybody gets one vote.
