As a reddish-purple Pennsylvanian who hates living in a sea of blue, I find this heartening:
Minutes stretched on awkwardly after U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis spoke to local Democrats. Yet that was less uncomfortable than one man’s attempt to break the silence.
“Let’s go Obama!” he shouted, clapping loudly.
No response.
Obama’s Pennsylvania Problem, in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Obama has a Pennsylvania problem, particularly with working-class Democrats and women who supported Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Looks like we get the fun of being a swing state yet again. Maybe this time we’ll actually swing.
And among Democrats no less! That made my day.
