Phil, you didn't explain. Why would a person be a Democrat if they're a 100% conservative?
Also, why did Bush win Westmoreland county and Kerry win Montgomery county then?
You might be able to say Pennsylvania is a SOCIALLY conservative state, but it sure as hell isn't an economically one, or conservative overall.
You have to ask some of the conservative Dems why they stay Dem, BRTD. I obviously don't have the answer to that question.
My position on this will stay the same: More people in the state of Pennsylvania identify themselves as conservative as opposed to being moderate or liberal. You disagree? Fine. We have a difference of opinion and I doubt it will change.
Probably the same reason Zell Miller remained a Dem. Their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers are all Democrats and they're not going to change their party affiliation because their family link to the Democratic party outweighs the fact that they vote Republican in national elections.
