Republican Bastions Fall!
http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_region/20080409_GOP_loses_2_more_county_registration_majorities.html

For the first time in the history of Chester and Delaware Counties, the Republican Party cannot claim the majority of registered voters, having been supplanted by a combination of Democrats, independents, and other party affiliations.
According to data released this week by the state Bureau of Elections, the number of Republicans on the rolls in Chester County is 147,257. All other registered voters total 158,886; of those, 111,916 are in the Democratic column.

In Delaware County, other parties outnumber the GOP, 193,858 to 189,386. The Democratic tally is 154,707 - cause for jubilation among party leaders.

Another GOP bastion falls

Bucks County, for the first time since 1978, has more Democrats than Republicans. It might be temporary.

Another section has toppled in the once-solid Republican wall of suburban counties surrounding Philadelphia. Bucks County has joined Montgomery County in going Democratic.
For the first time in 30 years, more voters are registered as Democrats in Bucks as Republicans.

BUT BEWARE THE PAPERLESS VOTING MACHINES, DEMS. Beware, be wary, and mark my words.
