Pennsylvania has its day in a long campaign

Sen.Clinton had a thirty point lead coming into Pennsylvania. Sen.Obama fought his heart out and lost by a nine point lead it was no blow out, thank's to an 'American Hero' Sen.Bob Casey who had Sen.Obama's back at every campaign stop. To all Democrat's in Pennsylvania thank you guy's for voting,And once again thank you Sen.Casey. Run Obama Run!

The people of Pennsylvania spoke loud and clear that the kind of change Obama represents is not their kind of change.

Fact of the matter is that most Americans aren't looking for radical change considering we have the highest standard of living in the world and the freedom to improve upon it for each and every citizen of this country.

The worst thing to happen out of all this is Pennsylvania will be OK with our late primary and not seek to change it. Yet again, PA Republicans had no substantive impact on our presidential primary.

PA is a large important state and deserves an earlier primary.

Does anyone believe those who voted for Obama or Clinton understand any of their positions on guns, late term abortion, taxes, capitol gains, terrorism or any other important issues? Does only being black or female qualify one to become president? What if we follow the democrat end the war plan? Will quit now, pay later really work? Will Islamic terrorists suddenly become peace loving wonderful folks if we abandon the Iraqi people? How has the democrat majority in the house and senate helped lower gas prices? Oh, I forgot, it hasn't. Change is apparently the answer, but change from what to what and how? My suggestion is to find out just who favors what before November 4th.

First we hear that Hillary didn't do this or didn't do that as a senator. Then we hear that Obama is for change and has all these wonderful ideas, yet we hear the same about him too, that he didn't do anything for his hometown in Illinois. We hear McCain is like Bush and it will be the same old politics. How do you decide? Well, I know I don't want another Republican in office, and I don't know much about Obama either. I've heard that Obama's church, Jeramiah Wright and his wife's comment about being proud of her country for the first time, isn't or shouldn't be misconstrued or even relevant. Sorry, that's not how I feel. I'm not particularly in favor of everything Hillary has said or done either. I do think she's tougher than Obama. Obama doesn't seem to withstand the heat as well. Also, I remember the Clinton presidency and those were good years. I'm somewhat confused about the changes Obama is promising. Where is all this money going to come from? What about national healthcare? I agree that the poor need access to healthcare but I personally do not want national healthcare for myself, for the poor, yes. Education - incentives should be given and education should be made more affordable, not handed out. There must be incentives or having a degree will not mean anything and the wage structure will eventually fall apart. When Obama says no child shall be left behind and will all have access to a college education, is he referring to everyone or a select part of the population? I'd like to believe that he is the candidate for change and hope, but I'm just not sure. I'm afraid this great change and hope he is referring to, does not have all of us in mind. I'd like to see a democrat for our next president. No matter who that may be, I'll still vote democrat and
"hope" for the best. The thought of another 4 or 8 years of another Republican in office would be disastrous in my opinion.

I am so glad that Obama closed the gap agaonst the racist remarks by the gov, fat eddie, by a former president and liar, by a former female candidate for vice president and shall I go on. The racist comments make me sick because as an old man(over 70), I had thought that this was gone by at least our elected(or almost elected) officials. I served with many people when I was in the service. They were just as dumb as most of us the first eight weeks(but we learned). It really pi$$ed me off that our gov took the lead right after he met with hillary in California. I don't really care for the policies of any of these jerks and I will have a harder time voting this time than I did in nixon-kennedy of 1960. Now we are known for our guns , religion, and bias in Pennsylvania. However, unlike another state we did NOT vote in a kkk wiz(I can't wait to see how this superdelegate goes.)

God bless Ron Paul and the number of people that want good government and courts back in good Constitutional order.
It may seem like a 'protest' vote to political 'regulars', but then so did the patriots to the Redcoats whe it first started.
Get ready for impatience and a growing intolerance toward anti-constitutional claptrap.
It's about time.

I would rather see the 'early' states get yanked back to a late start in March and April, like us.
They don't deserve to have any early advantage in shaping the legitimate outcome of the growth and influence of any of the Presidential candidates' campaigns. The loss of Mitt Romney's candidacy was a large one and was attributable to early races and his lack of political will to see it thru.
We (Pa.) are correct in having a long look at the candidates before choosing.
Obama is a perfect example of the error of wanting to vote too soon.
The press hadn't even 'opened' him up for serious scrutiny and he was winning the majority of races in the early states...that was particularly foolish.
