GOP Loses Foothold In Big Cities

12. In PA

The cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are really just fund raising opportunities for major Republican candidates. They rarely hold public events in these areas because the local Republican party is largely kept out of the local political arena.

Funny, because Philadelphia usually is good for over 100,000 votes in state-wide elections. That's probably as many votes as the smaller dozen counties in this state. If they continue to write the big city Republicans off then it will be harder to raise campaign money and probably depress Republican turnout in these areas. Dems have had this problem in rural areas for some time; lack of voter enthusiasm.
