Sheesh.. Democrats got their butts kicked in the 2010 election, lets all hope that the trend continues...
It is interesting that Pennsylvania is considered a toss up State now and Romney's ground game is in full force within the State

Comments & Results of 2010 election
Pennsylvania has been a blue state. Registered Democrats far outnumber Republicans, and it voted Democratic in all five presidential elections from 1992 to 2008. Still, the state swings with national trends.
And for this election at least, Pennsylvania turned red, with residents expressing anxiety over joblessness, the economy and, especially among older voters, the health care overhaul.
Republicans won the governorship, picked up a seat in the Senate, gained five seats in the House, and took control of both chambers of the Legislature.
“It was just a sweeping Republican victory,” said Rogers Smith, a political scientist at the University of Pennsylvania.
In the governorÂ’s race, Tom Corbett, a Republican attorney general who campaigned as a government reformer on a broad investigation he led into legislative corruption, defeated Dan Onorato, the Democratic executive of Allegheny County. Gov. Edward G. Rendell, a Democrat, is leaving office because of term limits.
