castor was unable to produce proof of any conspiracy against him and ran without the party endorsement in all but two counties, his home base in montgomery county and monroe county. castor lost 52.8% to 47.2%, despite winning overwhelmingly the same southeastern counties whose chairmen had repudiated him, and his home in montgomery county, where he took nearly 82.5% of the vote. the 2004 gop attorney general primary was of great significance in pennsylvania politics as it pitted corbett against castor, a candidate from asher's home county. the immediate result of that election was to show the supremacy of asher in statewide gop politics and castor as only a regional politician popular only in south east pennsylvania. it was widely speculated at the time that the 2004 gop primary for attorney general would produce the eventual gop nominee for governor in 2010. in fact, that speculation turned out to be true when corbett was nominated for governor in 2010 and subsequently elected before becoming the first governor in pa history to lose for re-election four years later in what was otherwise an overwhelming republican year nationwide. the long term fallout from the 2004 gop attorney general primary election was the alienation of the more moderate republicans from south east pennsylvania from republicans in the rest of the state, creating a fissure in the party. as a result, by 2014, the gop had lost all statewide elected (non-judicial) posts but one, including failing to re-elect corbett, a disaster for the pennsylvania gop leadership. in addition, the gop, while controlling handily both houses of the pennsylvania legislature, cast out of leadership almost all members of their own party representing districts from the se part of the state. thus, the 2004 gop primary for attorney general now is considered to have been a pivotal election for pennsylvania as it split the republican party, with the more polarizing conservative wing taking dominance. this has led to the nomination of candidates unable to win general elections by not appealing to se pa voters and the designation of pennsylvania as a firmly "blue" state. in 2016, donald trump carried pennsylvania and gop senator pat toomey was re-elected. however, state democrats won all three statewide "row office" races.
