Sounds like the suburban South. Republican, but may have conservative Dems at the local level.

West Virginia, Kentucky. parts of PA(though we're mostly Catholic).  Populist Dem in Congress, split for President because of social issues.

Montgomery County, PA namely Ambler, Abington, Upper Dublin Twp.- libertarian-leaning liberal.  EMILY's List's cashcow, solidly Democrat with a tinge of "Enterpriser" Republicanism due to the fact some people really love their tax cuts.

Wainwright County

Upland textiles area with a growing amount of commuters and retirees. Mostly small towns but with a large-ish suburban area (mostly middle class to upper middle class) in the northeast of the county. Large Evangelical population. Traditionally a modestly affluent area.

J. J.:  Most of the textiles are produced in the US South.  Possibly a conservative southern Democrat for Congress, but has voted GOP since 1980 in the presidential elections.

Armstrong County

A collection of small and very working class old coal towns with a large and remote rural area that used to be a metal mining centre. Large Evangelical population.

J. J. :  This sounds like WV.  It is a swing district, but would elect conservative Democrats.

Maudling County

An affluent area made up mostly of oldish middle suburbs. Has a fairly large Jewish population in parts but isn't an especially religious area on the whole.

J. J. :  Montco type liberal Republican at best.  Would have voted Democrat in the last 4 presidential election.  This is almost PA-13.

Spa Township

A very rich town surrounded by rich agricultural areas. Increasingly a base for affluent commuters and has no real industrial base.

Also similar to parts of PA-13.  Same as above.

You also forgot PA 13 includes NE Philly.  Politics of that area: !@#$%^&*()?  You never know from one day to the next or from one door to the next or even within a household.
