Kerry Wins Pennsylvania!!!
November 3rd, 2004
The Keystone State Goes for Kerry! That’s one of the three big states, and with New Jersey, makes Kerry the winner in the only two important calls of the evening. Great news! So far, with about 2/3rds of the Pennsylvania precincts reporting, Kerry maintains a 15% lead.
Remember once again: The precincts reporting are mostly rural areas where there are fewer voters, and so they can close earlier and report earlier; urban precincts, heavily Democratic, have far more voters and so longer lines, and they’re reporting later.
On the less-encouraging side of the news, trends seem to indicate that the Democrats may not win back either house of Congress.
