The above maps show the change in Party Registration by Pennsylvania Counties.  Counties in Blue are Solid Democratic (greater than 50% of voter registration without depending on Independents), Light Blue learning Democratic (party registration under 50% but with Independents, potential Democratic vote significantly over 50%).  Counties in Red are Sold Republican (greater than 50% registration without adverse influence by Independents), Light Red learning Republican (party registration above 50% but within the range of Independents forcing county to go Democratic).  Counties in Yellow are “Swing Counties” where neither party commands 50% of voter registration and Independents represent at least 10% of registered voters.

Now that the Senior Senator from Arizonia ”is it,” people from all over are jumping on the bandwagon.   However, we were the first Republican committee to endorse John McCain for President.  And we did that over a year ago.  Of course, we were upset when his campaign imploded in 2007.  But he came back.  We don’t agree with John McCain on everything.  But we do believe that he has the best chance of keeping the White House for the GOP.  But more important, much more important, is that we firmly believe that Senator John McCain has the character, the integrity and the principle to serve all of the people, all of the time.  For more about our endorsements for 2008, read our “Republican Candidates for 2008″ page.

As a public service to all of those “young folks” who routinely siege RNC, Republican Congressional, Republican Senate, and the Presidential campaigns, we provide you with our Dummy’s Introduction to Pennsylvania Politics.  Because you probably haven’t spend the last twenty years of your life at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade,  the Dummy’s Introduction to Pennsylvania Politics introduces you to the Byzantine state of politics in the Keystone State.  You will soon discover the truth that Pennsylvania, according to James Carville, consists of the islands of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, surrounded by Alabama.  Indeed, visiting Central Pennsylvania is like stepping into a time machine, as you are taken back to the politics of Bulldog Connors and “good ole boys” of the 1960s Mississippi.  Philadelphia politics, on the other hand, revisits the days of lore when Tammany Hall ruled government, and where we celebrate the Resurrection three times a year (Easter Sunday, Primary Day and Election Day).  So, click The Dummys Introduction to Pennsylvania Politics  to download your copy as a public service courtesy of the 59th Republican Ward to all our guests from throughout the nation.  Enjoy!
