Pennsylvania's 2008 Presidential Election Returns

Facts:

1. Obama won and received 54.7% of counted voting casts, whereas McCain only won 44.3% of the votes.
2. Obama's victory made this the 5th straight presidential election where Democrats won over Pennsylvania.
3. As Joe Biden attempted to win over votes of conservatives in Scranton, northern PA, Obama said many small-town Pennsylvanians "cling to guns or religion" because they are bitter about their economic plight (PA has almost 1 million licensed hunters).
4. McCain spent about three times as many days campaigning in Pennsylvania as Obama.
5. Election overseer groups reported various problems at polls around the state, such as malfunctioning machines, understaffed polling places, and poorly trained election workers.
