Philadelphia was the birthplace of America. It stands firm in preventing its downfall and demise.
The margins Hillary is apparently putting up in the Philly suburbs are just amazing. Some are making analogies to Illinois here. I would say that it seems like Philly and its suburbs are acting collectively close to Cook County, which I think is a pretty good analogy this year. If Hillary wins the suburbs by 30+ points and carries Philadelphia by the usual Democratic margin, the whole area could indeed rival Cook County. (Obviously, the big difference is that Chicagoland represents a much bigger part of IL than Philly+suburbs does of PA mostly on account of Chicago being a much bigger city than Philadelphia. Philadelphia and its suburbs don't really come close to Cook County and obviously, that's why IL is Safe D and PA is not.)
