Much like in previous elections, the state of Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes were projected by many to be leaning toward the Democratic Party. Barack Obama held a significant lead in pre-election polls, four to 14 percentage points, over Republican nominee John McCain.RealClearPolitics: Pennsylvania: McCain vs. Obama
Last Minute Push
Although Barack Obama consistently held a lead over John McCain in Pennsylvania since May of 2008, both campaigns were still heavily campaigning in the state in the last days of the election. McCain's running mate Sarah Palin and Obama's running mate Joe Biden each spoke in Pennsylvania on October 30, 2008. McCain and Palin hoped to gain ground in the state, despite the fact that Democrats have won Pennsylvania each election since 1988.CBS News: McCain Forced To Gamble On PennsylvaniaOther Pennsylvania Races
