26. If I can add about part of PA

Oct 2012

I live in Montgomery Cty very close to Bucks Cty. I picked up a friend on Saturday who lives in upper Bucks, very republican area. Of course I was looking for yard signs, and I did see one for R/R, one. But saw a lot for Smith (R) running against Casey and others were for local R candidates. I was driving with my jaw hanging open. In my area in Montgomery Cty, it was very red when I moved in in early 1970s, now it's maybe half & half but the trend is Democratic. I still have not seen any R/R signs. There are Obama signs but not as many as there were for the 2008 election.
