as I mentioned before you can see
我之前提到過
here's Allegheny County where Pittsburgh is
這是匹茲堡所在的阿勒格尼縣
it was Democratic voting and still is

but a lot of the surrounding counties had shifted

this is what McCain was hoping for

more than offset in the greater Philadelphia area

and this is a transition

we've been seeing for some time
其實過去很長一段時間
Philadelphia even the city itself was Republican voting
就連費城市區本身都是支持共和黨的
often into the 1950s was one of the last major eastern cities that have a Republican mayor for example
20世紀50年代時是這樣的 費城是東部最后一個由共和黨人擔任市長的大城市
now Philadelphia is well over 80% Democratic voting
而現在費城對民主黨支持率超過80%
but each election we see more of the suburban counties
但在每屆大選中 我們都看到更多的郊縣（轉紅）

that is Montgomery County?
那個是蒙哥馬利縣嗎?
is that right?
沒錯吧?
but now it's also some of the outer suburban counties are shifting as well
現在連更加外圍的郊縣也開始轉紅
not all of them
也并非所有縣都有這個趨勢
not Lancaster or York
例如蘭卡斯特和約克就沒有
but certainly a number of them
但的確有很多縣正在轉紅
Centre County
中央縣
that's where State College is
州立大學就坐落在這
Penn State

I don't know
