Frank Rich: How McCain lost Pennsylvania
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski talked with New York Times columnist Frank Rich. Rich believes that McCain was the candidate that lost the most in Pennsylvania because of the intense interest in the Democratic Party.
Frank Rich said, “I think we have to stand back and look at the bigger picture. The bigger picture is Democrats are having record turnouts for both candidates. Registrations are wildly up. They keep going wildly up. Now in Pennsylvania, for instance, there’s a million voter gap in registered voters, not counting Independents between the Democrats and Republicans and so it’s a very, very energized electorate.”
