In fact, Dukakis had pretty impressive showings in Western Pennsylvania, however Bush padded the numbers in the Conservative T of the state (Huntington, Williamsport, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York). Also, Bush beat Dukakis in the Blue-Collar belt of Eastern Pennsylvania, only allowing Dukakis to carry Lackawanna County (Scranton). Lastly, while Dukakis won Philadelphia County by a 2-1 margin, Bush ate that margin up by winning the nearby Philadelphia suburbs by mostly 3-2 margins.
