In yet another close race for a Senate seat, which the Democrats were trying to hold onto, recent Pennsylvania Election results indicate that the Republicans will walk away with the seat.

In hard fought battles for both Pennsylvania Governor, as well as a Senate seat, Republicans seem to be the victors. Although things are extremely close with, 91% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania, Republican candidate, Pat Toomey commands 51% or 1,994,737 of the votes, while his Democratic rival, Joe Sestak commands 49% or 1,915,577 of the popular vote. This race has been much tighter than many of the polls prior to the election have indicated. Toomey was favored 45-40 in pre-election polls.

The race for the job of Pennsylvania Governor, which is currently held by Democrat Ed Rendell, looks to be going to the Republican Candidate, Tom Corbett. Corbett has received approximately 55% of the vote, compared with his Democratic rival, Dan Onorato who has 45%, after 91% of votes have been counted in the state. These election results are pretty much expected and mirror the results in the polls leading up to the election. Both Corbett and Onorato fought hard, however this seemed to the the year of the Republicans in the state, with only Montgomery, Delaware, Philadelphia, and Lackawanna counties voting in majority for Onorato.
