Poll Workers Report High Turnout Across The State For Potentially Pivotal Primary

    Joe Trippi and Bob Schieffer tell Harry Smith that it looks like the Pennsylvania primary will go to Hillary Clinton and if she wins big it will be a huge boost for her campaign.

  • Video The Candidates Speak

    On the eve of the Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania, Harry Smith spoke with candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama.

(AP)  Despite weeks of furious campaigning by Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, some Pennsylvania Democrats were still scrambling to pick a side Tuesday as they streamed to the polls for the high-stakes presidential primary.

The choice nagged at Kermita Williams until nearly the moment she pulled the lever for Obama in suburban Philadelphia. Williams said she supported Clinton early, but tired of her negative attacks late in the campaign.

"She lost a lot of credibility with me, with all her bickering back and forth," said Williams, a retiree from Malvern. "I was in her corner, but she showed me some weakness."

The crisp spring morning found enthusiastic voters queuing up at local schools and firehouses to cast their ballots. Election judges in Susquehanna Township, near Harrisburg, had checked in 10 percent of the ward's voters by 9 a.m.

Cindy Wiedl, 50, a full-time student at Harrisburg Area Community College, stood in front of the voting machine for several minutes before pushing the button for Obama, based in part on his pledge in a Tuesday morning television interview to help working people.

Her husband, Anthony Wiedl, a 55-year-old supermarket cashier, voted for Clinton, but said he had "kept listening to what Barack was saying and the wheels were turning."

Poll workers reported high turnout across the state. A line of voters snaked out the door at Allentown's First Presbyterian Church, jammed the two-bay firehouse in the small Philadelphia suburb of Roslyn and filled a fire company in Bellevue, a working-class suburb north of Pittsburgh.

Many voters said they reached decisions only after watching the debates, studying the candidates' Web sites or attending a campaign event. But psychotherapist Kathleen Gavin said the former first lady earned her vote "10 years ago."

"I think she's done tremendous work in the country and in the world," said Gavin, 44, of Allentown. "I don't think he (Obama) has the experience, the wisdom or the presence that Hillary has."

The primary is the first test of the candidates' strength in six weeks, and will decide the allocation of 158 delegates to this summer's national nominating convention - the largest bloc of delegates still up for grabs.

By plane, train, bus and car, the two candidates and their surrogates have been relentless in courting Pennsylvania voters. They spent millions of dollars on TV advertising and squared off in Philadelphia for the 21st debate of their campaign.

Election workers in the University City section of West Philadelphia - whose voters include University of Pennsylvania employees, Drexel University students and residents of the lower-income Powelton Village neighborhood - reported strong registration in the typically transient district.

"I have never seen a polling book this thick," poll worker Sheryl Simons said. "The debates and the candidates coming to campus has really heightened interest."

Voter excitement over the Democratic presidential nomination contest pushed the party's Pennsylvania registration to record levels. Clinton and Obama hoped that same fervor would translate into votes on Tuesday. Obama, an Illinois senator, has trailed Clinton in the polls by a small margin in recent weeks.

Statewide turnout would set a modern record for Democratic presidential primaries in Pennsylvania if more than 2.3 million of the 4.2 million registered party members show up.

The current record - just under 55 percent - was set in 1980, when Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy narrowly defeated then-President Carter in Pennsylvania.

Democratic enrollment began to soar earlier this year when it became apparent that neither candidate would clinch the nomination before Pennsylvania's primary, making it a factor in a presidential nomination for the first time in more than three decades. Voters must be registered Democrats to vote in the Clinton-Obama race. The Republican primary is also being held Tuesday, but Sen. John McCain of Arizona is already the presumptive nominee.

Since last fall's election, largely due to the aggressive efforts of the two presidential campaigns, the number of Democrats increased by nearly 317,000 as of March 24, the deadline for switching or joining parties.

Nearly 150 people had voted in Roslyn by 9 a.m., which election workers called a brisk turnout.

"I never dreamed there would be a woman running, but I think it would be a great change for the United States of America," said Bill Stabilito, 83, a retired machinist and World War II veteran who voted for Clinton.

The Democratic presidential race is not the only one being decided Tuesday - there are nomination contests for state treasurer, Congress and the state Legislature - but it is unquestionably the biggest draw for voters.

Dave Price, 65, a Republican in western Pennsylvania, cast a vote early Tuesday for McCain. But he said that's not necessarily the way he will go in the November general election.

"If Obama runs, I'll be very interested in taking a look," said Price, a retiree voting in Bellevue. "The change theme gets me."

Here''s what I think is the lesson from Pa - a Barack win would evidence a breakthrough, a Hillary blowout of like 15 to 20 points would be a breakthrough. Anything in between is basically kicking the can down the road . . .

jmo and as a Barack supporter this view might be slightly biased but I think Barack''s been the ppl''s choice for his fresh, optimistic, idealistic perspective since Iowa, but after we Dems got burned twice over with Gore in 00 and Kerry in 04 we''re more savvy about ensuring that our preferred candidate is in optimal shape going into the general. Hillary''s role in this campaign is to be Barack''s ''sparring partner'' and the Dem ''plan b'' in case something went wrong.

The stalemate in Pa provides Barack with a great opportunity to refine the presentation of his economic message, and to try out different responses to ''swift-boat'' attacks. The counter-attacks so far have been okay, but seem to be missing their mark slightly . . .

"The Clinton campaign has run a very negative campaign," said Raines. "They have constantly -- but in a very subtle way -- had people remind the public that [Sen. Barack Obama] is black." Howell later said that the "best thing [Sen. Hillary Clinton] has going for her" is the fact that Obama is consistently stigmatized by the fact that "if you''re a black candidate, you have to apologize for every stupid thing ever said by any black person." why must Obama apologize for every dumb thing Jesse, Al or Rev Wright says?

Hillary is betting on white racism to win. Is that a win? Hoping that White America will reject a candidate on racial terms. We all know had Obama ever lied about being shot at by a gang on the streets of Chicago he would be thrown out of the race. Hillary is allowed to remain in the race while the media create stories to beat Obama with, to say a man who just finish paying off his student loans is an elitist is retarded at best.

Obama went to college and received a Law Degree because he didn%u2019t know enough to help the churches and people of his community with just having a 4 year Degree. How is that elitist, who goes to college to become a lawyer to help poor communities? Not Hillary, she went to Walmart. Not Bill he went to Canada and rallied against the war.

Here we go...it''s starting already. If Barack deoesn''t get the nomination there will be rioting in the streets. It will be claimed that he was cheated...it won''t matter how fair it was...the accusations will be hurled. If he does get the nomination and loses to McCain...there will be rioting, ballot recounts, lawsuits. Jesse and Al will be marching in the streets. This election is a no win situation.

By the way Blackspirit3, you certainly don''t have any room to talk about so called "white racism". You''re the biggest bigot that ever walked on the face of the earth.

Note: The 911 Planes were Piloted by Saudis & United Arab Emirates, No (Iraqis or Iranians) Fact

PA Debate: I told you Clinton is $$ Backed by the Saudis, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait & Qatar.

Hillary Clinton: Well, in fact, George, I think that we should be looking to create an umbrella of deterrence that GOES MUCH FURTHER THAN JUST ISRAEL


Clinton: Of course I would make it clear to the Iranians that an attack on Israel would Incur Massive Retaliation from the United States, BUT I WOULD DO THE SAME WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION.


Weve got to Deter other countries from feeling that they HAVE TO ACQUIRE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

You cant go to the (Saudis or the Kuwaitis or United Arab Emirates) and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say: Well, dont Acquire these Weapons to Defend Yourself unless youre also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup and we will let the Iranians know that, yes, an attack on Israel would trigger massive retaliation, but so would an Attack on those Countries that are willing to go under this Security Umbrella and forswear their own Nuclear Ambitions.

And finally we cannot permit Iran to become a Nuclear Weapons Power. And this administration has failed in our efforts to convince the rest of the world that is a danger, not Only to Us (USA) and not just to Israel but to the ''REGION'' and BEYOND.

Hillary just hit one out of the park in defense of Israel, our most reliable mid-east ally. I''m almost flabbergasted. We have been talking and talking to those terrorist fueling states until everyone that I personally know are sick of it. Negotiations must be a two way street,.....been one way for too long. Nobody believes them anymore now knowing their religion allows them, if not encourages it. Consider how the Soviet Union handled the kidnapping of some of their diplomats in Beirut years ago. These are awful, yet effective responses. Far cheaper than mobilizing a whole army. Sometimes radical surgery is the needed ticket instead of the big stick. If Iran plays a nuke card against anyone,.....we can play that game too. With all of these things that I''ve said, I don''t mean that we should stay over there on someone else''s dirt. We need to start all self sufficient policies here ASAP. The Iraqi leadership seem lackadaisical for their own defense. We won by making them free, and they will lose by not obliging the necessary hard work to keep that freedom.

This still makes me laugh hysterically. Republicans switching their votes from McCain to Obama. They see something in the most progressively left of center candidate that stirs and enlightens them, they''''d definitely vote for Obama if they weren''''t already committed to McCain. And your supposed to give a horse''''s *** about anything they say or do as having any Christian honesty or merit whatsoever. Yeah, you go to church and believe in capital punishment too right?
Yeah, the change theme gets him, or so he says, yet he voted for the 71 year old racist white guy that voted against giving MLKJR day as a national holiday. Give me a break. I hate brainless morons that vote for Amnesty Juan McCain. Everyone google McCain and Amnesty, and see what Juan McCain wants to do for all the illegals, while killing our family members in Iraq!

Hillary is the only candidate to offer REAL change. End the stereotype of a white male president. Obama is whiter than some repubs I know and McCain sounds an awful lot like a Nazi. Another pres coming out of the party that gave us Chimp-Boy is not something I''d even like to consider. I suppose Obama is better than the repub alternative, but I still think Hillary would make a better President for where America is today.

If you believe Obama (or any Washington politician) is not "beholden to lobbyists" you are in for a rude awakening. The true test is whether or not thay can stand up to the lobbyists and say "no" when they need to. Obama hasn''t shown he can go that. I think his lack of experience in Big League politics would overwhelm him if he were to reach the Oval Office. Hillary can get things going much more quickly. We need change and I find Clinton to be the one who can accomplish this with the most effeciency and competency. It is also up to voters to ensure that Congress is not the deadlocked useless mass of flesh that it is today.

me more. Hillary is a divider and Obama is a uniter.
Hillary is a panderer who lies and exaggerates.
Obama is a leader who tells the truth and inspires
a broad spectrum of Americans. Hillary is a Washington
insider who is beholden to the lobbyists. Barack
Obama is not beholden to the lobbyists. He is a man

Yep same here! I started off supporting Hillary but after I listened to Obama speak a few times I became convinced that he had the ability to move the nation forward and unite us as a people. Although we are different in so many way''s, a President who isn''t into exploiting those differences can bring us all together on the things that concern all of us and that we all want.

She wasn''t born here, raised here, educated here, or ever lived here - she needed some place that owed her husband favors that she could use to run for president. She doen''t give a hoot about NY and has done nothing for us during her time as a Senator. All Hillary cares about is Hillary - nothing will ever change in that regard.

THEN

Clinton, who has tried to cast her rival as too inexperienced for the job of commander in chief, said of Obama''s stance on Pakistan: "I don''t believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons."

NOW

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton discussed actions that would warrant a nuclear response that would %u201Ctotally obliterate%u201D Iran. The New York Senator told ABC''s %u201CGood Morning America%u201D Tuesday and MSNBC''s %u201CCountdown With Keith Olbermann%u201D Monday that, if president, she would be willing to use nuclear weapons against Iran if they orchestrated a nuclear attack on Israel.

This race is over - Hillary just has to be completely stripped of any mathmatical chance and all her dignity before she can let go.

trapbreak,

You continue to pick and choose the polls that tell you what you want to hear. Most polls show a close race in Indiana.

Close wins won''t do it for her. She needs to win big everywhere without excepton and that still probably won''t be enough. She lost. Get over it.
