Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for theRepublican nominee,PresidentTheodore Roosevelt, over theDemocratic nominee, formerChief Judge of New York Court of AppealsAlton B. Parker. Roosevelt won Pennsylvania by a landslide margin of 40.67%. His record is the best presidential performance in Pennsylvania since theEra of Good Feelings, when nearly unopposedDemocratic-Republicans often carried the state by landslide margins.[1] and Parker carried just 6 rural counties largely populated either byPennsylvania German voters historically opposed tothe Civil War and to the pietism of the Republican Party,[2] or by Appalachian mountaineers sympathetic to the South in that war. Roosevelt was the first ever Republican victor in the historically Democratic counties ofNorthampton andSullivan in the anti-Yankee northeast and German LutheranYork in theAppalachian south.[3]
