Pennsylvania State Nicknames

Whereas there is only one Pennsylvania motto, there exist a number of state nicknames for Pennsylvania:

"The Keystone State"

This term is originally found in the language of architecture. It designates the middle stone of a stone arch - the central, important stone that keeps all the stones in place.

In relation to Pennsylvania the meaning is symbolic: Pennsylvania is placed in the middle of 13 colonies thereby playing a central political, social and economical role.

As a Britfag with zero previous interest in local politics due to the overt and covert corruption and even less in US politics, I have a question for USfags.

 

In terms of the mid-terms, how important is Pennsylvania? Could it actually be key?
