Taking the entire state into consideration I would say PA as a whole is slightly left of center. The hard left shift in the Philly burbs pushed it as a hole from dead center to slightly left of center. I don't know if I would say center-left, but it is slightly left of center.
Hack,
SE PA is not "hard left." Secondly, without SE PA, this state is not "dead center." If anything, PA is slightly right of center. You're so delusional.
I didn't say it was hard left, I said the hard left SHIFT.
Suburban Philly went from a pretty solid Republican area, to a decent sized Democratic lean (much the way Long Island has) Going from pretty strong GOP, to a decent sized Democratic lean is a hard shift. Anyway as a whole when you take into consdieration each part of the state leans slightly left of center.
