PA turning decidedly anti-American and blue all over. Don't bother coming back Sarah!
The Inquirer:

"Since the April primary, Democrats have added to their record margin and now outnumber Republicans by almost 1.2 million statewide. And Democrats have made dramatic gains in Philadelphia's suburbs.

Pennsylvania's ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans, nearly 3-2, topped even that of 1976, after the GOP had been damaged by the Watergate scandal that drove President Richard M. Nixon from office.

Challenges could result in some changes to the final figures, which are expected next week. Through Monday, however, 8.7 million Pennsylvania voters had registered, an all-time high. Democrats have shown an unprecedented net gain of 614,008 in the last four years, which surprised even Obama's Pennsylvania organization, said spokesman Sean Smith.

In Philadelphia and the four suburban counties, Democrats gained 317,708, with a 22 percent jump in Chester County; 21 in Montgomery; 12 in Bucks; and 8 in Philadelphia, where Republicans are outnumbered 6-1.

In the once solidly Republican suburbs, the GOP advantage has fallen from almost 350,000 in 2000 to fewer than 20,000."

Let's see them challenge their way out of that!

Yo! Gobama! Go Phills!

4. Thanks for that! It's an interesting time here in Philly.

Folks here are as much into the politics as they are the Phils.

The bar/restaurant/music venue I work at has been empty for every debate and Phils game. We don't have TVs. But we're having the election on the big screen at the music venue on Nov. 4. That ought to be real interesting.

If the bedlam that ensued around town on Wednesday night is any indication, I should say either an Obama win or a World Series victory should send Philly over the deep end.

Come to think of it, I'm getting the hell out of town!

3. Yes, maybe if Palin promises NEVER to come back, The Flyers can begin to win some hockey games.
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 03:05 PM by ShortnFiery
DAMN, poor Flyers can't buy a game. :(

I'm a loyal Capitals fan but the Flyers are playing well but can't catch "a break."

Come on Sarah, denounce those evil liberals in Philly so their NHL Hockey Team can start WINNING a few games? ;) :evilgrin:

7. At least, the fans treated her in the usual Philadelphia manner.
Now, lets get her out to the LINC after a big snow storm!
