3. PA is done.

The voting power of Philly will not be matched. And, FYI, we're not adequately polled. Phone numbers change like the weather here, so the majority of people cannot be polled. I didn't supply my cell phone number (no landline) when I registered, so I have never been polled. Not in 2004, not in 2008.
