It was obvious that in the 2006 election that is why the Republicans sat it out. They were disgusted. It was not the war, since Bush was not running in that election. In PA I think that the big change is Republicans switching so they can vote in the Democratic primary to help get the better candidate or to cause more chaos. In the general they will vote for McCain. The real problem is for the US Rep seats and Senatorial seats may not get enough votes to correct the Democratic shift at the federal level. In PA Democrats are often more conservative and side with the pro gun side so no damge to Democrats on guns. That is how in 2006 the Democrats got so many seats. Raoul Emmanuel in the house arranged for a lot of conservative Democarsts to run and that was very sucessful. Voters chose not on party but more on what positions are aligned with their own. No reason not to vote for a Democrat if they have your positions. If you want the republican party to be more sucessful then get in and help or run yourself. Clayton Cramer is doing that in Idaho.

Of course there is a certain percentage of sheep who will register with whatever is the predominant party and then there are those that think that by voting for Hillary they create an advantage for McCain, still others are registering Democrat now because it's the only race that really matters right now in PA--however it's not enough to justify the numbers we are seeing here: Democrats outnumber Republicans by over 10,000. I think Montco has been trending leftward for awhile. We get a lot of transplants from the city who want to come out and give their failed Democratic policies a fresh start in a new county. The county's party leadership has been divisive and ineffective, and we just had a very controversial county commissioners' election in which Castor and Matthews won for the Republicans and the vile Joe Hoeffel won for the Dems. Matthews quickly cut a power deal with Hoeffel to keep him(Matthews) in the chairman's seat, leaving Castor, who was the winner of the popular vote, out in the cold. What's hurt the party the most, IMHO, is the rampant spending and corruption of the Republican party at the Federal level once they finally got into power. It was a betrayal of people (such as myself) who have been slogging it out in the trenches for years working to put the Dems out. With Republicans like these, who need Democrats? The Republican brand is damaged and we in Motco are already working at the grassroots level to build it back up. I don't think you can lay the downward trend of the Republican party solely at the door of George Bush. This has happened in my home county of Montgomery, too.
