Hey, Pennsylvanians out there in DU land! Our primary may actually matter this year!

[gauguin57]

Unbelievable! In the primary, I often write-in vote for people who've already dropped out of the race, because our primary is too late in the season to matter. But maybe this year the Demo. candidates will come to PA and kiss our rear ends for a change!

1. There should be a county sign in.

Pike County.

[gauguin57]

6. A quarter-century ago, I lived in Monroe County, and used to drive up to Milford for work.

I used to love that beautiful drive! Helloooooo, Pike County!

[rug]

8. I was in Stroudsburg this morning.

Lots of people moving in from NY. It's turning bluer.

[gauguin57]

13. i lived in Stroudsburg for a short time.

Beautiful country up there. Still can't believe they tore down the "Beautiful Mount Airy Lodge" and built a casino. Well, actually, yes I can.

[Junkdrawer]

2. I know. It's going to SUCK big time...

Robocalls...

Non-stop TV and Radio ads...

Traffic jams....

[gauguin57]

3. oh crap. i forgot about the robo-calls. *never mind*

lancaster county here

[Skoods]

4. I know!

I was planning on voting for John Edwards back in January because I thought it would be over by now...Now...it's going to be huge...

Hillary, you have a vote in PA here...actually you have 2. Me and my mom. Unfortunately, my dad and his girlfriend are going for Obama...so it's an even split.

[napi21]

5. I HEAR YA! I lived in Pa. for 42 years, and our vote NEVER mattered in a primary!

That's the argument I always use when people start bitching about Fl & Mi. What's the damn differnce? They broke the rules and their votes aren't going to matter. Later primary States abided by the rules and their votes don't matter either! Same thing in my mind!

[TK421]

7. Bucks County here, and just about everyone I talk to seems to like Hillary

but then again, there are a lot of people I DON'T talk to, so......I suppose I'll just have to wait. Bucks can be strange, sometimes

[Skoods]

19. Bucks as well!

haha that was funny...I hope Hillary can do it! I just dont want Preacher Obama.

[TK421]

30. Hey, where are you in Bucks? I'm in Bristol Borough...right on the Delaware

[TK421]

9. I just received a very weird error message after I typed that response...

something about cookies being enabled that will not permit me to respond, or some shit like that?

[tigereye]

10. shocking, isn't it?

:wow:


Allegheny County here.


:hi:

[TK421]

11. How do you mean?

[tigereye]

32. that we get a say, is what I meant

usually we don't

[jlake]

12. Yes! I am SOOO Excited!

[gauguin57]

14. Dang! This means I'll actually have to decide between Barack and Hillary?

I was gonna write in Edwards or Kucinich!

[TK421]

16. I have to say this...

Edwards was my guy, and when he dropped out, I had quite a bit of thinking to do......until a couple of days ago. I don't know if you'll like me or hate me for this one, but I feel my vote has to go to Hillary on this one. Something about the Obama campaign seems a little off to me, and I can't quite put my finger on what that is. I guess we'll find out soon enough how much our presence matters here.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

15. Yeah ... WOW!!

I'm guessing we will be seeing LOTS of both of them! Southern Chester County, here. :hi:

[MaraJade]

17. Wowwee!!

This is HILLARY Country!!!

[Sugarcoated]

18. It's very exciting!

Burbs of Philly, here :bounce:

[eggman67]

20. It'll be a nice boost to the PA economy at least

It's nice to matter once in a while:)

I'll put up with the annoyances to get the benefits. I'm in Montgomery County, Hillary's popular around here.

[Sugarcoated]

23. I get the feeling she'll take PA

And I know it's not a popular idea around here, but I think Rendell would make an outstanding VP if Obama turns the offer down. That is if she's the nominee, of course.

[eggman67]

27. Oh I think you're quite right

that she'll take PA, and by a comfortable margin. PA isn't much different from OH. A Rendell VP choice wouldn't surprise me at all, and I wouldn't complain. There have been rumors about McCain picking Ridge, that would be weird, 2 PA Govs in the race.

[Sugarcoated]

29. Wouldn't that be odd?

Rendell would beat out Ridge for PA. I have a feeling she'd pick Clark for VP.

[flowomo]

21. yep, I am very pleased that we Keystone Staters will have a voice

Carlisle here. Redder than a ripe tomato, but sprinkled with blue dots.

[NastyRiffraff]

22. Hey Pennsylvanians! The candidates will be LIVING in your state!

Be prepared to trip over them every time you go to the grocery store!

JK...I really envy you guys. I live in a reliably Blue state, so nobody spends much time campaigning here.

[gauguin57]

24. Cools! I've got 2 bedrooms ... Hillary and Barack can both stay with me!

Gotta say ... it would be fun to have them come someplace nearby so I can go to a rally and see them in person.

[eggman67]

28. For seven weeks!

I'm really looking forward to it.

[susankh4]

34. We had a blast here in Ohio!

Let's continue the party....

I have good friends in Philly and da'burgh!

Go Hillary!

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

25. Which means

I'm going an Obama rally! :applause:
He'll HAVE to have a rally in Pittsburgh.

[Gore1FL]

26. only if Clinton gets 100%

Otherwise it is over tonight.

[Born_A_Truman]

31. All primaries should count! n/t

[Phillycat]

33. I know, it's pretty cool. (Delaware County here)

I just contacted the Hillary local office - I'm going over there after work to see what I can do to help. :)

[susankh4]

35. Good for you!

Thanks!!

[Eurobabe]

36. I know at least 10 family members of mine who are voting OBAMA

in April. Many more friends are doing likewise. :hi:

[gauguin57]

37. kickin' for the day shift

keystone staters

[adapa]

38. I just told my Mom to get herself down to the local Hillary office & volunteer

she said she was proud of me working for Hillary here in NH, now it's her turn.

[demodonkey]

39. Help us watch the VOTING MACHINES while all this is going on -- VotePA.us

According to reports by Common Cause, Verified Voting and many others, PA is at high risk for election problems.

Please help us make sure that every vote in the Primary AND November is counted as cast. We need people who are working on all campaigns to learn how to be vigilant about voter disenfranchisement, election fraud, and machine problems as they work for their candidates.

From PA...I can't get past her IWR vote, and flip flops. Wonder what happens to Edwards delegates?
