Remember Obama Supporters, 27% of voters in PA over 65 (In comparison OH has 14%)
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 07:59 PM by mod mom
Twenty-seven percent of voters in Pennsylvania were over the age of 65. In Ohio, those voters only made up 14 percent of the electorate.

Seniors have consistently supported Clinton overwhelmingly and Pennsylvania is no different — she's winning 61 percent of voters 65 and over. Clinton did even better among Ohio seniors, winning 72 percent of their vote.

PA is one of the oldest (demographics) states.

1. Same as here in Florida
Old coots. I will be 60 this November.

It's a state of mind and apparently they don't have one.

2. Because Hillary represents more of the status quo and they feel safe w/what they know
Change scares them. They fear their SS will be taken away.

6. Yep, "real change" like supporting more outsourcing of jobs, more support of Wal-Mart et al,
More anti-consumer, anti-worker legislation. More hawkish warmongering to isolate us from the rest of the world. More hateful divisiveness so nothing is accomplished. More wars to make us more vulnerable to terrorism, reduce our military strength, and drain taxpayer dollars. THAT IS CHANGE!!!

Enjoy your pro-corporate, pro-DLC, pro-military political whore.


BTW, has she stopped taking lobbyist money yet?

I seriously doubt it given her campaign is $10 million in debt. Go sell out America some more, Hillary.

3. Good point. Against that Obama did not stand much of a chance of winning.
Tho we wanted PA in play and there is a REALLY good chance that he has kept it under 10 percent so good news regardless.

We are going into May and OBAMA territory! So keep up the spirit everyone!!
