Yes I am a registered Democrat, I just finished voting. Just because I'm registered Democrat doesn't mean I always vote that way. I think I like Ron Paul.

If NOA (none of the above) was running I'd predict landslide victory in November.

Well I'd of been right if it was my county only, he got 25%. :P

Well I may have been much closer with my prediction overall than the results show, reading a few articles over the last few days I came across some interesting facts. Besides Philly and the burbs Clinton had a 70% advantage througout much of the state which was what I predicted. Another interesting report i came across was the mention that many Republicans and independents switched their party affiliation so they could vote in the Democratic Primary. An exit poll showed that 1 in 5 of the people voting for Obama were from this group.

Read another interesting fact in the paper this morning, no presidential candidate elected to office has lost Pennsylvania since Harry Truman .

The Dems better make their minds up if they expect to win the presidential election.

Being from a small town in Pa. (Linesville) & actually thats the closest post office, I really didn`t take offense to Obama`s comments. I just took it as most people around here use the churches & gun clubs and such for much more. They are the social networks you go to for information and help. We know the federal gov. won`t do much but tax. People here tend to help one another through the churches. For home protection we count on our gun`s, if I need back-up I can depend on my neighbors. Even the local widows have and know how to use guns, I can`t even guess as to how long it would take a cop to get here. So I guess you could say I am a bit bitter about Washington. Something has to change. I don`t know if Obamas the one that can do it but I think he holds the best shot. I guess time will tell.
