Pennsylvania's 2008 Elections

Facts:

  1. Delaware County was very Democratic, party wise, as the percentage of votes for Barack Obama were over 80% in 2008.
  2. The heavily populated, urban, areas voted more Democratic, and not Republican.
  3. Despite spending almost three times longer campaigning in Pennsylvania John McCain's efforts were in vain, as Obama took victory at about a 10% margin.
  4. Sen. Joe Biden, now VP, helped Obama by campaigning in PA were he was born, hoping to gain more voters.
  5. Democratic voters, not counting the registered just those who voted, now out number Republicans by over one million. This isn't too surprising considering there are around 15% more Democratically registered voters than Republican voters.
