PA election: We swept the three “row” offices- Treasurer, Attorney General, AuditorGeneral. Other:

President Obama 54%, Romney 45%.
US Senator Bob Casey (D)held his US Senate seat over slob teabagger Tom Smith who spent $17M of his own money in losing to Casey.
The US House delegation (13 R, 5 D) has no Democratic representative west of Harrisburg (we lost one seat).
PA House has 110 R, 93 D. It was a wash.
PA Senate 27 R, 23 D. We picked up 3 seats.
We will have governor Corbett (R) for 2 more years and are stuck with US Senator Toomey (R) for four more years.

the next year re: the Sandusky case where Corbett stonewalled it. Note Kathleen Kane is now AG and word is that she will look into that.

Toomey is a teabagger. It's a long time from now, but after this fight over the budget, Medicare, Medicaid, etc, he is going to be unpopular.
