NEW CASTLE / LAWRENCE COUNTY-- So far neither Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama have made campaign stops in Lawrence or Mercer counties as the campaign for Pennsylvania's April 22 primary criss-crosses the Keystone State. Lawrence County Election Marlene Gabriel tells Titan Radio News she thinks a candidate who visits here could easily win over county Democrats. She says when Bill Clinton was running for president in the 1990s he campaign here and won Lawrence County in that election. While both Clinton and Obama have made repeated stops in nearby Beaver and Allegheny counties, the closest the campaign trail has come to our area is a new office in New Castle opened for the Obama Campaign. Reporter Alex Hines attended the opening event at that office where he found local volunteers passionate about their candidate. You can click our YouTube link to watch it.
