Pennsylvania is one of the last states -- and the last large swing state -- to hold it's presidential primary elections (Apr 22 this year). Normally that means that the decision has already been made, so PA voters have little influence on who the presidential nominee is. This year the Republican race is already decided (pretty much), but the democrats are running neck and neck -- so PA may very well decide who wins the nomination. You can't vote in primary in PA unless you are a registered voter in that party. So, as this blog title hints, Katie and I changed our registration to the Democratic party so that we can cast the deciding votes. Go Hillary Obama. (We have firm plans to change our registration back to independent on April 23, however.)
