I can see Pennsylvania becoming a milder version of Missouri. That is, a state that grows more conservative and more Republican as its cities continue their precipitous decline and Democratic votes disappear as a result.
It's strange to think that 50 years ago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were all among the top-flight American cities. Today they're shells of their former selves, and Missouri is left with rural Southern conservatives in one part of the state and rural Midwestern conservatives in the other. Pennsylvania could wind up looking like West Virginia but with more people and professional sports teams.
