Palm Beach County's Jewish population, one of the most heavily-concentrated in the country, was split earlier this summer when Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton stepped aside as presidential nominee. But the community seems to be coming together for Barack Obama. More than 100 people stood in line by 7 a.m. Tuesday outside Temple Shaarei Shalom in Boynton Beach. Michelle Sachnin, 41, a Jewish voter from Boynton Beach, admitted she was a Hillary supporter, but had no doubts where she would place her support come today. "Obama. I've always been a Democrat. And I believe in everything he stands...
...Pretty, 8:30 a.m. E.T. Ben Golnik, the McCain campaign's regional manager, asserts McCain is viable here, despite polls that have showed Obama in double digit leads and that the state hasn't voted for a Republican president since Richard Nixon in 1972. Golnik argued that a Hillary Clinton rally indicated Democrats were worried about their chances of taking the state.

Yesterday, John McCain greeted 1,500 at Pittsburgh International Airport, while Hillary Clinton stopped by a suburban Pittsburgh Obama office to encourage the troops. Bill Clinton, meanwhile, was campaigning with John Murtha up the road in Johnstown, trying to buck up the anti-war but veteran-friendly Democratic Congressman. Murtha's reelection once seemed inevitable, until he labeled his constituents "racists" and "rednecks" who would find it difficult if not impossible to vote for Obama. (See pictures...
Even the state's Republican governor speculated this year that a certain number of Pennsylvanians would never vote for a black president. That's the portion of the white vote Hillary Clinton once counted on to put her over the top in the primary here. Murtha's territory includes a portion of Pittsburgh's Allegheny County, though none of the city itself. Will such local voters hurt Obama today...
