Morris On PA
On the money, I'd say:
Clinton won Pennsylvania for two key reasons: Only Democrats could
vote in the primary, and the Keystone State electorate is dominated by
the elderly, who are staunchly for Clinton. Despite her claims
of electability, Hillary has never done well among independent voters.
And Obama usually loses the Democrats. Pennsylvania's closed-primary
rules gave her a key advantage.
Older voters are flocking to
Clinton as fears mount of what Obama might do as president. But
those under 45 - less focused, perhaps, on race - are moving toward
Obama. Here, that split helped her.
Does anyone believe that the big difference in voting patterns between the young and the old have nothing to do with residual racial attitudes?
