It's right there on the map!
Places like the Philadelphia suburbs used to be worse than metro Milwaukee. Not anymore.
Oh I thought you meant Republicans in general (local and state candidates) not on a Presidential level.
Now I'm guessing you are saying that the Philly suburbs (Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware...) they used to be more Republican than Milwaukee and this is no longer true. Well I'll tell you I would never expect a town like Milwaukee to be more Republican than the Philly 'burbs. That is odd. One would think that a big union town like that would be strong Kerry.
