That and some terribly spineless candidates on the democratic side. Seriously, Grimes?

At least we got rid of hustlin' Tom Corbett.

I am confused on what you mean by this

C'mon, Republicans got 3/5ths of the white vote, more if you look further up the age brackets, and the three drums that they really focused on where about scary foreigners and immigrants. Poorer whites, who would have economic reason to vote democrat, tend even further towards Republicans.

So much of the Republican party's strength these days is race-based, just that no-one (even most of the folks voting with such motivations) wants to admit it because no one likes to think they're racist, for the most part.
