Pennsylvania Voters Switching to Dems in Droves, Despite Online Glitch
Pittsburg Post Gazette ^ | 3/21/08 | Tom Barnes

HARRISBURG -- The Rendell administration is scurrying to fix a glitch in an online voter registration form, a flaw that could permit the unauthorized disclosure of some people's driver's license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

Mrs. Amoros said thousands of people have been signing up to vote in recent weeks -- either first-time voters or those who want to switch their registration to Democrat so they can take part in the April 22 political showdown between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

"It's just been incredible, the number of people changing to Democrat," said Mrs. Amoros.

The nine counties that showed the largest percentage increases in Democrats over the past six months were mainly in two areas of the state, the Philadelphia suburbs and the central region of the state, an area known historically for being conservative and having many more Republicans than Democrats.

Statewide, there are now 3,994,605 Democrats, or 111,000 more than last November's total of 3,883,378.

Hell yeah. It worked very well to keep the Hildabeast alive, and now it’s probably to our advantage to keep Obama hanging by a thread.

How tough was it emotionally to switch parties...:)

I can’t bring myself to do it.

I’m votin’ Hillary. This race still has legs. If Hillary loses Pennsylvania, it is over and Obama wins, but it is still too early yet. Give it a few more months. Remember, if this race ends on 23 April, then Obama will get a free ride until November as McCain has already claimed he will not play look into people negativities, but Hillary will. Please reconsider votin Hillary after you read my explanation.

If his numbers keep falling he may have to accept VP.

You can go to the library and get a form. You better hurry, the deadline is very soon. There is one other benefit, you can vote for John Morganelli too.

That’s huge. Are you kidding? Do you know what a 3% shift in the votes in 2006 would have meant? A Republican Senate and pretty close to keeping the House.

She’s going to win Pennsylvania, you have to vote obama so the delegates are split. Obama has already shown he can’t make it with tough questions.

I think it is more plausible the other way. If you were him, would you want her as second in command?
