PA-1 covers most, if not all of Bucks County. Bucks is has an interesting split. Lower Bucks, Bensalem/Levittown/Bristol, is mostly red necks, a lot of whom moved there from Philadelphia because it's "not Philadelphia" but close proximity to it.
Then you have the arts community around Washington's Crossing and the old establishment country club Rs in upper Bucks.

I think the only reason Fitzpatrick has been able to hold the seat for the GOP is because he, like his brother, served as a county commissioner. So he started with good name recognition and linked with county policies voters liked. He'll be hard to unseat, imho.
