8. Every 8 years Pennsylvania Governor changes party
Personally I blame it on Catherine Baker-Knoll - she should have retired after her first term and let someone else be Lt. Governor. Instead she ran again even though she was in her 80s and yes, she did pass away. Pennsylvania didn't have a Lt. Governor they could have built into that job leaving the office open for the taking.
11. Don't get to worked up about PA. It would have been nice to have a Dem in office again, but
it seems to be a constant pattern here that every eight years we go from a Democrat Gov. to a Repub one. Rendell has been our Gov. for nearly eight years, so it was assumed it would go to a Repub this time-even a stupid one like Corbett, who really didn't have to do much to win. Corbett's election had very little to do with other races. It just seemed to be time for a Repub.
