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...
Obama's campaign made its final push in the city Monday night, with an appearance by running mate Joe Biden and several members of the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies baseball team. Significantly, the appearance was in a heavily white, blue collar district in South Philadelphia, where Hillary Clinton won in the primary by a large margin and the McCain campaign hopes to pick up enough conservative, Catholic Democratic voters to help depress Obama's margin of victory in the city...
...analyzing the turnout numbers is made even more tricky in a state with no party registration. Voters only "declare" their party when they vote in the primaries and this year most analysts believe up to 3% of the "declared" Democrats were crossover Republicans messing in the fight between Hillary Clinton and Obama...
Montana: McCain's Late Stand, 10:30 a.m. E.T. Montana has only three electoral votes and has gone GOP in almost every presidential race for the past four decades. (LBJ won it in 1964; but Bill Clinton took it in 1992 only because Ross Perot chomped into what would have been the Republican vote for George H. W. Bush.)

During the primary season, the networks used exit poll data to slice the electorate into various demographic groups - giving viewers proof, for example, of Barack Obama's strength over Hillary Clinton among black voters and Clinton's popularity among older voters. These tidbits help fill airtime when networks have exit poll data, but can't release figures on who's winning until polls are closed in a given state. Expect to see this again on Election Day, in between the time...
