and despite their rotation of governors between both parties, the state has never been listed as "in play" - whether as a battleground or swing state. Yet ironically, up until this year, PA was always made a "tossup" despite the fact that we hadn't voted for a rethug since 1988 and we also rotate governors from party to party.

Blowhard Christie is generally being neutered by the NJ state legislature. The downside of Dems there is the rampant corruption.
