Amidst all the statistics clamoring for attention during the last six weeks of 24/7 Pennsylvania primary coverage, there's one key number that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves: 306,918. That's the number of new Democrats added to the voter rolls in Pennsylvania between January 1 and the voter registration deadline on March 24. 146,166 first-time voters joined the party and 160,752 switched their registration from Republican or Independent to Democrat. (A mere 39,019 first-time voters joined the Republicans.) The new Democrats have pushed the party's total past the four million mark--a historic first (broken link) for any party in the state's history. Those voters have the potential to change the results from Pennsylvania dramatically--both tomorrow, and in the general election in November.
Republican crossovers, for one day, to vote for Hill&Bill and keep this lovely, productive democrat battle going a while longer.
..."the fact that most of the new Democrats are coming from Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs offsets the reports from more conservative mid-state counties that voters might be switching as a result of Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos," in which his "Dittoheads" register as Democrats to mess with the primary results. In those counties--Limbaugh country--the number of new Democrats is markedly lower."
You also can not dismiss the College age voters here. They are not polled because they have cell phones and not landlines. We will see tomorrow evening. I noticed now that the Clinton Campaign are saying a win is a win even if we only win by 1 vote. Moving the goal pole again Clinton. I do think she will win tomorrow and she should as she had a huge lead let us not forget that. I am curious to see just how much she wins by.
Pennsylvania went blue 20 years ago. Don't think McCain is counting it as a must win, or even a nice-to-win, in November anyways.
