This is a mostly unsurprising map, as Obama won Philadelphia and some of its suburbs, State College, and the city of Pittsburgh while losing the rest of the state, including suburban Pittsburgh, leading to a loss on Allegheny county. Obama fared worst in Southwestern Pennsylvania and the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre region. He kept the margins unexpectedly close in York, Lancaster, and other counties in the Harrisburg and Philadelphia media markets. On the whole his performance in rural Pennsylvania, with an older electorate, was better than it was in Ohio.
Both teams played hard, God Bless and good night.
Update: my humblest apologies, I read the results in Lancaster and Harrisburg backwards. Lancaster is a heavily Republican county, so what you probably have there is a "rump liberal" Democratic party. I'm cautiously optimistic that Clinton +8 will hold, and perhaps even +6 depending on how PA-13 shakes out, though I think she ended up winning reaching the 70% margin in PA-12 and perhaps elsewhere. If I were Paul Tewes I'd be mostly happy with this result. And in retrospect the decision to spend the final Monday in Pittsburgh instead of Philadelphia wasn't such a bad iea.
