Pennsylvania voters threw their support behind Republican candidates for in yesterday's election, and many are saying the poor economy played a role. But money also took center stage in another form, according to Robin Kolodny, an associate professor of political science at Temple. "Pennsylvania, as one of the swing states in the U.S., had a lot of spending from outside groups," said Kolodny. "And perhaps most Pennsylvanians aren't aware of just how many people outside of Pennsylvania spent a lot of money to influence the results here."
