Pennsylvania throws the R out

Incumbent Democrat Ed Rendell won the Pennsylvania State House by 60-40. Bob Casey send the blight of life Rick Santorum home by nearly the same margin.

In the House, 11 of the 19 seats have been decided for the Dems. Two very close races have yet to be called, with Dems leading in both. In PA(06) Lois Murphy is leading her opponent by 1,800 out of 182,000. In PA(08) Patrick Murphy leads Gerlach by 1,500 out of 250,000.

If those go D, that will be 13 of 19. It would also mean that 5 Republican incumbents were thrown out. 5 out of 11 isn't bad.
