Democrat Barack Obama won the national vote on Tuesday, and he won in Pennsylvania.
But, if Whitehall Borough alone decided the presidency of the United States, Republican Mitt Romney would be the winner.
According to unofficial results from the Allegheny County Division of Elections, Romney gained 130 more votes in Whitehall than President Obama did.
Fifty-two people in Whitehall voted for Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, 16 voted for Jill Stein of the Green Party, and 17 wrote another name in.
The results in Baldwin Borough and Baldwin Township, however, were in Obama's favor.
View the table below to see how each municipality within the Baldwin-Whitehall School District voted.

Congratulations-if anyone deserves Barack Obama, it's you.
1) Obama will be so concerned with his "legacy" that he might consider compromising. (Say a prayer this is the case), or 2) He will go harder left. In this case our country will be forever diminished. (Again, say a prayer...)
````````````````` YOU, and what other people see a 3 million vote difference as a tie? Must be Goofy GOP Math.
The comment above about how US is a republic and not a democracy is such a misconstrued and simply...a wrong statement. I had this conversation w some republican folks in my office and I had to reeducate them on this. Also -FYI don't bother googling it and try to explain why this statement is right because the first hundred searches are all biased viewpoints....all one needs to do I look at the history and evolution of both words. The truth and the fact is that US is both a republic ("democratic republic") as a form of government and a democracy ("representative democracy or liberal democracy") as a system of government. In its original definition, republic only means "non monarch" and democracy only means "government by the people". Many republicans are mistaken in the meanings of both words and is understandably so. Only after two Supreme Court hearings in the late 1800s did the word "republic" as used in the context of the Constitution include "equal rights of citizens" and "right of the people to choose their government" in the definition. Democracy has been a loosely used word through your history first used to define "pure democracy" or "direct democracy" in the 1600 to late 1700s, and more commonly used to describe "liberal democracy" or "representative democracy in 1800s to present day times". So the correct answer is that we are both a republic and a democracy.... Don't let crazy fools believe you otherwise!!!
He said if Romney won, the idea of the Senate working with him,was "laughable ". When both parties met at Blair House in B.O. 's first year, his response to Ryan's question on compromising was- " I won ". Your propaganda does'nt pass the smell test, NUKID
Welcome to PATCH, with this, your first ever post.
To the other half of you-Lenin was right-, you ARE "useful idiots".
Don't like name calling? Get used to it, hypocrite
Brian, I'd bet their constant name calling doesn't even make them feel better, they're always whining about everything. Seems NOTHING makes these two happy. Wonder if they heard Newt Gingrich today, saying pretty much what you said, Brian, about better candidate, with the better organization, with the better message, with a better understanding of the changing demographics .
EXACTLY the reason the Left likes him-they're mirror images. This is TOO easy.
You tell me to "GET OVER IT" and when I expose you for the Obama- ite you are,you whine. Because I call you out,my statements are 'absurd'? Spoken like a typical arrogant Democrat, When I find someone that uses "reason, logic, and respect", I'll converse, because it's not you. Because,you see, what you and the rest of the American Idol,Saturday Night Live, The View ,MTV,etc.,Liberal drones don't even realize,is that your decision to play Socialism games because you consider your CommunityOrganizer- In- Chief to be SO cool, our children and grandchildren will not have this great country. Maybe you think that's okay for your children, I'll be damned if I'll let that happen to mine.
So,if you honestly think that the Right is going to continue to take this double standard crap from B.O. idealogues,especially examples like you with the moronic post name and the bizarre HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,- Let the games begin.
How's your BP?
