Schuylkill County goes for John McCain

The presidential election is finally over. The country overall chose Barack Obama as the president elect and Obama is already deciding what issues to tackle first when he officially takes over as president in January.

Here is Schuylkill County though, John McCain had more votes than Obama. Schuylkill County still has a Republican stronghold for most elections. Jim Rhoades, who died in a auto mobile accident, was reelected by Schuylkill County.

Did that visit by John McCain in Pottsville propel him to victory in Schuylkill County? One has to wonder.
