For what it's worth, as a native Pennsylvanian (having lived outside the state the last 23 years), the majority of Pennsylvanians are descended from European immigrants and have really deep roots in this beautiful, rural state. Many take care of elderly family members or don't even like the thought of moving away from family -- even if it means moving to a more reasonable state (and how many of those are there -- with honest politicians? Ha!) There is virtually no industry in Pa. It is beyond depressing. That's why Murtha got re-elected. He brings home the pork for stuff they otherwise couldn't buy with tax dollars. He promised his constituents a fire truck, hardly a luxury item. Sad. Rendell (or Swin-dell, as he's known), I have no explanation for. He's tight with the Clintons and from Dem-heavy Filthadelphia.

States like California, et al, who spend BILLIONS more than they take in due to entitlements, idiotic laws, etc, are now reaping what they've sown. You can't do this forever, the bucket will either empty totally or be filled with worthless paper. Since most don't read history, the Weimar Republic in Germany after World War One had such bad inflation they ended up printing gazillions of useless paper money, so useless people had to be paid twice a day: at 11 AM and 4 PM, since prices changed at noon and 5. It took a wheelbarrow of cash to buy a loaf of bread. THAT is what continually printing paper money backed by nothing other than the "faith in government" will do for a country and its citizens.

So, coal-mining states like Pennsylvania (and Ohio and a few others who voted for "The One"), you really should start stocking up on canned goods and light bulbs before "Obama's Hope and Change" and the greed of your CHOSEN elected officials force you into a socialist bread line.
