...Hillary had a lot of support from three groups," the adviser said. "The first - middle aged, non-college woman - should be Democrats, but they stayed home instead of turning out for Al Gore and John Kerry. They are all about the economy.

The local tourist bureau hosted a massive Office convention last October that officials said drew more than 10,000 fans of the show to this city of about 75,000; the Today Show's Al Roker gave the weather report direct from the University of Scranton during the event.
