Post-Gazette: GOP had a good day in Pennsylvania

Republican candidates’ robust showings across Pennsylvania Tuesday raised GOP hopes for the next year’s state and congressional elections, The Post-Gazette reports.

Reversing a recent pattern of Democratic successes, Republicans won at least six of the seven appellate court races on the ballot and may end up sweeping the contests, depending on the outcome of a still-undecided Superior Court seat. The results were dotted with some Democratic successes in competitive areas, such as the ouster of an incumbent district attorney in Centre County, but lagging Democratic turnout held down the margins of several heavily favored Democratic incumbents.
