Nov 2012

It is horse country -- lots of rich people -- but it also has a large working-class population. This is the county where the second Levittown was built. It also has a lot of purely rural areas, many of which have been turned into McMansion developments over the past generation. It is also one of only two counties in PA where the frackers do not have a free hand. Mitt is there doubtless because of the first factor.
