19. I hope that is a sign that we can finally flip PA-1

and get rid of Brian Fitzpatrick there. We need that seat!

When it was originally PA-8, it was briefly flipped to (D) (Patrick Murphy, an early supporter of Obama) in 2006 and 2008, but the 2010 teabagger catastrophe flipped it back to (R). PA-1 makes up about the entirety of Bucks county (with some slivers of Montgomery County).

The Inky had a front page story about the Philadelphia Police and how about 1/3rd of them live outside the city - the largest share in Lower Bucks, and that is where you see red votes in what is finally become more purple and swing.

More Philadelphia police live outside the city than ever before
