Holly, Dan, your orders of crow are ready

 
Top headline:  Politico
Bottom headline:  Fairfield Sun Times (where they know what they're talking about)

From Politico:
Pennsylvania will be home to highly competitive House, Senate and gubernatorial races in next year’s midterm elections — and the GOP’s local comeback here shows that Democrats’ newfound shakiness among suburban voters reaches far deeper than one or two states. 
“This November was an early insight into what Democrats could be facing in the suburbs in 2022,” said Dan Sena, former executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “The suburbs have become much more competitive for Democrats than they have been in the last two elections, and provide opportunities for Republicans to make gains.” [emphasis added]

From The Sun Times:
Instead, Democrats enjoyed an historic midterm election. For the first time since the 1940s (excluding 2009, when Republican Arlen Specter switched parties and served with Democrat Bob Casey), the Keystone State will have two Democratic U.S. senators. For the first time in state history, Pennsylvanians voted for a third successive Democratic gubernatorial term. And for the first time since the 1840s, Pennsylvania will have a Democratic governor and two Democratic U.S. Senators. Democrats also managed to hold all competitive congressional districts (they own a majority in the state’s delegation) and, pending some outstanding election results, could seize a majority in the state House for the first time since 2010 (partly thanks to last year’s reapportionment process). [emphasis added]


Look at the margins of victory for Shapiro in Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware County.

And Fetterman's margins of victory in these counties are just as impressive


GOP roars back to life?  Crow is you get when you're wedded to the conventional wisdom.
