Published | Video Starts at 28:00

Know and I think there's also a lot of mythology about Philadelphia that if you don't know Philadelphia and if they only have X percent vote, that, that that's going to be the difference. But remember, Philadelphia is only at best 12% of the statewide vote. The city of Philadelphia, it's not 40, it's not 30. People have people in Washington all the time think, oh, Philly's like a third of the vote or half the vote, it's 12% of the vote and the suburban counties are 22% of the vote. (28:00–28:05)
