In the state, it's politics unusual for Clinton, Obama By Mike Wereschagin TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, March 16, 2008
Patrons pack the bar at Rookie's Restaurant and Sports Pub in Allentown, but their conversations steer clear of the political battle being waged for their votes.
Bartender Nick Goldsmith keeps an ear on what is said inside this Lehigh County joint. If one of the candidates' names comes up, he knows he might have to jump in and shut down an argument before it becomes a fight.
Again.
"I don't usually discourage it until it gets out of hand," says Goldsmith, 29. That's happened a few times already. "Election nights, especially. They even fight about the news channels. People are complaining, 'You've got Fox News on!' or 'You've got CNN on!' I have to have CNN on one (TV) and Fox on the other."
It's likely to get worse.

If they don't like when you hold your primary, they disenfranchise you - your vote doesn't count.
One man one vote - yeah sure, but if you don't attend your precinct caucus, and vote again, your vote doesn't count.
If the party big-wigs (super delegates) don't like the person selected by the electorate, they select someone else; more disenfranchisement.
It's not wonder that the Democrats are always claiming they have somehow been disenfranchised. They are masters at it.
I simply cannot see how they could possibly run anything as large as the United States. After seeing what they do to the party faithfuls, imagine how they will treat those who don't vote for them.
My wife, who’s a registered Independent, has been getting phone calls from Obama all weekend. Needless to say, she hangs up on them. They haven’t bothered to ask for me when they call. :)
Ain’t gonna be politics as usual
Rendell won’t be able to commit all the vote fraud in the black districts for Hillary
Rendell won't have to.
The black mayor of Philadelphia, Mayor Nutter, is a strong hillary supporter.
Philly is going to vote 107% for hillary.
Says it all
Perhaps, but with the black mayor supporting hillary all the way, this will be very interesting indeed.
Trouble perhaps, but a big win for hillary.
They ain't that stupid

don't laugh - I vote!
Re: “Don’t laugh”, I’ll be laughing as I vote. Registered Dem as a joke in my youth and never bothered to switch it ‘cause Pennsylvania’s primary is so late. Hillary’s already got a big lead here in our shrinking, decaying, shuttered-factory, Blue state, the one with the nation’s second oldest average age, so I guess I’ll be a proud Rush-Limbaugh-style Obama voter.
Vote OBAMA!! He’s being destroyed but Hillary really needs to be destroyed by us.
