1. only if by both she meant either

As of 04-17-2008, there were 4,200,109 registered Democrats in Pennsylvania. (Pennsylvania Department of State)

In 2004, 2,938,095 Pennsylvanians voted for Kerry and 2,793,847 voted for Bush, for a total of 5,731,942. (CNN)

2. Yes, I see that and that is what I was just running to check on

at any rate, the numbers are outstanding :hi:

Thanks!

3. She may havebeen unclear in her comment, but this is still an outstanding

amount of newly registered voters for our party. Leads me to believe that we can't get a true sense of what will occur in the primary next week with all these newly registered Dems.

4. looks like 25% of the Democrats are unpolled, new voters - HOLY COW THAT'S HUGE!

almost 1.3 Million new voters

if they break 2:1 for Obama, as I've seen predicted, it will be a victory, based on the preponderance of polls, showing a closing gap, Obama barely behind.
