Pennsylvania’s Democratic Voters

Tomorrow, Pennsylvanians go to the polls. For weeks Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been courting the Keystone state nonstop. The candidates have bowled, and traded bitter barbs on everything from patriotism, Iraq, small town America, and each other’s character.

This hour On Point: Pennsylvanians tell all the day before the primary.

-Jane Clayson

Don Kettl, Director, Fels Institute of Government, University of Pennsylvania, Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania.
