Don't live in the Keystone State, but I'm rooting for you guys. I know Penn has long gone blue in the Presidential, and I'm hoping the whole state gets a lot bluer this cycle.

Good luck!

If not, that's a big oversight and lost opportunity! (Sorry, at work and don't tune in until after 8pm).

But that is indeed good news. Thank you.
